I grow peppers my own self, and I might have to enter next year.
Their spuds were bigger, though:
I can't touch this. The winning pumpkin in the yellow variety was 220 pounds.
Them some big watermelons, too:
These, apparently are chinese squash. Who knew:
I was pretty pleased with my zucchini until I saw these:
Finished products also were on display. The fruit of the vine was embodied in homemade beer and wine:
I need to get me a gig judging this shit. Please note that the winning wines are just empty bottles. Can't judge it without drinking it, right?
Yeah, we got livestock. These are cows:
This is a cow's ass:
This is another cow. I also took a picture of the cow's ass that was next to this cow, but I decided that one cow's ass was really enough, don't you think?
Some of these are beef cattle, some are dairy cattle. Pretty sure this is steak on the hoof:
In keeping with fair traditions, these cattle were raised by 4-H kids, none of them out of high school. Several put up signs thanking their sponsors:
This means I can go down to the Urbana Giant and buy me a chunk of the cow in the background of this photo:
Nobody's eating this horse, though:
The horses we saw -- and most weren't there, because they were off racing -- were sulky horses. They pull little carts like these and people bet on the outcome:
And let us not forget that magical animal, the pig. Lot of bacon on the hoof at the fair.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, bacon:
Got more, but it's late and there's already a lot of pictures here. More coming.
