Hello! Gosh, I was up early today. We wanted to get grocery shopping out of the way so we did a complete grocery checkout at the new Market Basket. Okay, where do I start with this store. These are my thoughts on the new store......1) Why, oh, why is the ice cream along one wall of the store and the dairy products (milk, cheese) on the opposite side of the store.......causes alot of walking for nothing since we buy our milk and ice cream last. I don't know, maybe because the grocery store I'm use to going to has two freezer aisles near the milk and cheese section. And 2) there seems to be more desserts (pastry, chocolate, cakes) in this store than real food, some food that we buy at the grocery store we regularly visit isn't available at this new store. I don't think we will be going back. Oh, well, that's my gripe for today LOL!
Okay, we went to the
Deerfield Fair (New England's Oldest Family Fair). It's just a four day event that is a 20 minute drive for us to get to. This is one of my favorite fairs.....unfortunately every year it comes around, the rain gets the best of them, but today was a very nice day out and we got there at 9am (I told ya we did grocery shopping early today LOL!).........

| We are driving into the parking lot to the fair..... |
 |
We waited about a 1/2 hour...the new check in system was
electronic and when you paid your admission, the cashier had to
input your zip code into the machine before taking payment |
 |
| There's my ticket! Let's go...... |
 |
| A horse show was going on when we got inside.... |
 |
| Just walking around the fair.... |
 |
One of the display buildings inside the fair had
a history of the Deerfield Fair..... |
 |
| Some cattle for the "cattle pull" |
 |
| Hey, that's ME! :) |
 |
| More walking around...... |
 |
| Some kids washing baby cattles..... |
 |
| Lots of tractors if you need to buy one..... |
 |
| Still walking around.... |
 |
| 4H was there displaying their creative side.... |
 |
| I thought the candy corn in the light bulb was cute..... |
 |
| Quilts are made and displayed.... |
 |
| This is my favorite quilt with all the old cars on it.... |
 |
| Looking to buy an ATV?? |
 |
| How about a snowmobile?? |
 |
| Still walking around.... |
 |
They have plenty of rides here, but no games to play.....
don't look to win a teddy bear here |
 |
| Alot of history here.... |
So that was my day today.......Jake has a doggie event to go to tomorrow (not sure exactly what it's about, heard about it from Zoey's Mom and Dad) but we will go and check it out with pictures......Have a great night! :)

Wow. We're never been to The Deerfield Fair, but everyone raves about it. We love your pictures!
As far as Market Basket--we have one but it's not very close, so our family doesn't shop there very often. Sorry that it wasn't a good shopping experience for Mom.
