When I think of County Fairs, I can't help but think of the Los Angeles County Fair of my childhoold years. My Mom would take us kids there every fall. It was bigger than most State Fairs, with everything from a chicken who played the piano to mural sized pictures made out of vegetables. We were never allowed to go on the rides (too dangerous), but enjoyed all the seemingly endless rows of exhibits. To top off the event, we always had a County Fair corn dog (with mustard) and an ice cream bar dipped in chocolate and nuts, a big treat for us kids!
Yesterday we went to the Davis County Fair. It's a small town event, but it's free and close by. The fair consists of displays of farm animals, tractors, vendor booths, food and rides for kids. They also had alligator wrestling this year, but we didn't stay around for that. Unfortunately, we missed the Demolition Derby, which is probably the highlight. We also decided to pass on the Rodeo. 
I knew the Davis County Fair would be small and couldn't compare to the L.A. County Fair, but I was still a bit disappointed when they didn't have a piano-playing chicken.
Update on prior post: We closed on the sale of the rental house last week. It's nice to have that completed and done with!

I have a lot of fun memories of the LA county fair. I signed up for the contest where you could win a monkey. I signed up many years in a row-but I never won the monkey ( or anything else) Who knew I would have 5 little monkeys of my own and now 10 little grand monkeys.
