Things I saw...
The fair rides and food are pretty typical for fairs everywhere, from traveling shows in a small town parking lot to annual events like this. Meaning fried sugary stomach bombs, followed by rides where the main excitement comes from wondering if the ride is actually safe. :)
What makes this fair stand apart is the rodeo. I've been twice and I've seen rodeo queens, bull riding, steer wrestling, bronco riding, calf roping, and even a little mutton busting (where the 5-7 year olds try to ride a sheep). I was also free to wander around the arena and back with the live stock. It's well organized, yet still a "small town" event, which makes it fun.
Things I missed...
There are a wide variety of rodeo events through out the year, ranging from mutton busting to professional bull riding. I've missed most of them, but they're on my to-do list. Check the schedule if you're interested. The fair and rodeo is currently going on through next weekend, so drive down and check it out.
