the big eh

We headed up to Springfield for the Big E, the largest agricultural fair in New England. I was a little disappointed by how commercial everthing was, and would probably go to the Durham Fair or things like the CT Sheep and Wool festival instead. We're also contemplating a trip to the Early 19th Century Agricultural Fair at Sturbridge Village which looks interesting as well.

We were really disappointed to find that they no longer have the poultry show, but Dante manged to get the chicken lady in "Farm-a-rama" to let him hold her game hen. What a docile bird -- she was so mellow compared to our ladies, and is way smaller, tho she's the same age.

We took a break from the sun to watch the horse jumping for a while. Lucia was in horse heaven.
