Opening Day of the Iowa State Fair



Thursday August the 7th:  The opening day of the Iowa State Fair. These are early days so we can get decent parking just outside the fairgrounds. John comes down from their RV spot and takes us into the camp where Shelby and Callie spend the day with Evita in their RV. It rained most all the day. Susan made the local newspaper at the opening ceremonies.

Waiting for dairy cattle judging. Some of these heifers haven't been milked for 20 hours to show off their utters for the competition.  Can you imagine?


Susan is not in line for this judging


One can find almost any competitive sport here at the fair
