Before we left she was asking about all the things we were going to see there. We told her there would be animals. "Will there be monkeys?" she asked. We told her they were farm animals, not zoo animals. So she asked, "Will there be silos? And a windmill?" No, we didn't see either of those.
But we did see pig races, lots of sheep, and even more cows. Some real, and some made out of butter:
We saw the state fair band (which I was in when I was in high school--it brought back fun memories). Here she is listening to the band, which she really liked.
She loved watching the rides and wanted to ride everything we saw. We didn't ride anything, but told her when she's older we'd go to another place and she could ride rides (meaning an amusement park). She seemed content with that answer.
She was so excited to see this character, whoever he/she is. 
She gave it hugs over and over and over! Now I'm really sad we're not taking her to Disney World next month--she would've LOVED seeing all of the Disney characters!

She told us her favorite part was feeding the animals. They had a petting zoo. She liked how it tickled when they ate the food right off her hand. 
Just before we left we found the Habitat for Humanity display, which had this building area for kids. She loved building with the oversized lego blocks.
It was a fun morning.
I'm impressed that she let the animals eat out of her hands! I don't know if Kaden would do that! He wouldn't go pet some small animals we saw today at a library program. Looks like a fun day at the fair...FAR different than how we spent our day together there, what was it, 4 years ago?
