The Pinal County Fair at 11 mile corner...

About 11 miles from Casa Grande, just east of the "11 mile gin" (cotton gin that is) on highway 287, is the Pinal County Fairgrounds. When I spotted the flyer in the clubhouse, I just knew we had to go - who can pass up a fair!

The display of quilts was not real sophisticated, but the work was beautiful.

The crafts included many items that were woven, like baskets and cup holders (hey, they got a blue ribbon).

The dog show looked good - loved the little fellow in the window...

The bird lady had some very interesting specimens like this one from Australia.
Interesting how the worlds of youth collide at a county fair...

Of course, there was a 4-H building and they happened to be having a silent auction so we stuck around to see if we were successful - we weren't.

Expect to see these chairs at the fairs near you this summer - for just 25cents you get a foot massage...

It was a typical fair with tons of food booths so we ate hot dogs and corn dogs and peach malts and apple blossoms and ... went home for the antacid. It was fun!
