Fiddlers, and Pythons and Goats, Oh My!

We went to the Georgia National Fair on Saturday. The kids really enjoyed it. When we first got there, we saw an older couple singing and playing the fiddle with a bunch of wooden noise maker toys in front of them. They had a sign that said, "Kids wanted to make music". So our kids sat down and played and tapped to the music. We saw lots of little side shows around the fair. At one of them they asked for 10 volunteers to help hold the last animal in the show. They didn't say what the animal was until they had 10 children lined up to hold it. Then they brought out a giant python. Kaitlyn and Sarah were a little scared, but eventually they helped hold it. Alan thought it was neat.


We also went to a petting zoo at the fair where we could help feed the animals. William loved feeding the animals and kept holding his hand out for more food to give to them. It didn't bother him at all to have them eat right out of his hand.
We also saw a water show and some cow boys in action, and Tom and the 3 older kids got to ride a few rides at the carnival end of the fair. Lot's of fun!! It was only $8 per adult and kids 10 and under were free. A really good price for all the entertainment that was there.

Interesting your fair is in October. Makes sense though, only time you wouldn't have super humid weather. Looks like the kids had a lot of fun! I like the picture of them holding the snake.

I think it's in October because it's too hot any other time. It was still in the high 80's and was at times pretty miserable because of the sun and heat, but we went inside to see the booths when the heat got too unbearable. We probably wouldn't go if it were any other time.
