Iowa State Fair

As I mentioned in my post on the solar eclipse, we were in Iowa for our granddaughter's second birthday, but also visited the Iowa State Fair.



The Iowa State Fair is one of the largest in the U.S. and this year it had a record attendance.



But our main reason to visit the Fair was the Wine competition where our son and his wife received awards. Here's the ribbon for their Cherry Wine in the "Fruit Dry" category.

They also did well with their "Apple - Sweet" and "Wild Plum - Sweet" wines.



Time for a walk around the fair.

Another type of goat, a four horned goat, was at the petting zoo.



We got to see the Budweiser Clydesdales



Speaking of beer... It was a hot day and there were several tents promoting Iowa Craft Beers. So many brews... So little time.



Of course we had to visit the livestock.



You never know what you'll see at the Iowa State Fair.
