10 things I learned at the Butler County Fair
1. Calves are bad. Very bad. It’s not their idea of fun to be walked around in a circle by a poor 4-H child.
2. Steers are HUGE. And when they misbehave while being held by a tiny 100 pound teenager, the situation feels a little out of control.
3. Fairs still have freaky sideshow attractions. How did I not know this?
4. Not every dog is meant to be a Dock Dog. One hint might be if your dog doesn’t want to jump off the dock.
5. The midway workers yell at you to try to get you to play their games.
6. I still don’t like ferris wheels. They are freaky.
7. I must be a city girl because I have never seen sheep covered head to toe with shiny leotard material.
8. We walked by a calf being born. I looked around…did no one care? I was a little disturbed that the birth wasn’t being monitored. This is all news to me.
9. I didn’t have anyone to explain to me what the purpose of the little scratcher thing was during the 4-H showing of cattle.
10. I want to go to a large state fair now. This whole thing was fun!
