I attended the County Fair in Angola. It is a small fair that centers around the animals raised in the area. June and I watched the calves being shown. My nephew came in second with his calf. We ate pork sandwiches and drank black coffee watching the calves paraded before the judge. Later my sister and I found ourselves standing before the rabbit barn. The loveliest bunny laid in his cage.
"Ah, you must be the Velveteen Bunny," I said. He said nothing. Just twitched his nose.
Chickens with wacky feathers hats and those in various shades of red and rust clucked.
Yes, I'm a farm girl through and through. I still want a horse. I'd love to have a rabbit. The cows make me homesick. And, I thank God I don't live around pigs.
County fair animals are this grandma's delight.
