Ozark Empire Fair

Ruth and I went to the fair last night with Rebekah and her crew.
Everyone ought to go to the fair. It reminds us what it means to be
an Ozarker.


The big "swine" sign spoke volumes, as did the billboard pointing
toward the manure pit. The big parade featuring tractors is probably
rare in our country, as is the excitement in people's voices when they
talk about gigantic jacks siring mules. No kidding.


I do love the fair. New Yorkers and Californians need to come see how
good life is in the Midwest.
