It only comes around once a year and it seems that we have missed it the last couple of years. But this year the girls and I got the chance to go to the Clark County fair. When I was growing up in PA, we had the most amazing opportunity to go to the Big Butler Fair for a week during the fourth of July holiday. My brother Gabe and I belonged to Powder Mill 4-H club and we showed our horses for a whole week. We stayed in our camper and participated from the age of 8 until we graduated high school. I realize now just how awesome that was, and how badly I wish I had that for my own children. The memories I have from that time are irreplaceable. Dusty and I went back to PA for a visit in 2007 and we went during the Big Butler Fair so that we could show the girls what their mother and uncle used to do. I was super fun to go back and smell the old smells, and see the old horse barn, and even come across a few old friends. How blessed we were to be able to do that. I am so grateful.

Huge mama pig and her babies!
They had exotic animals there like this camel. They also had a Kapuchin(sp) monkey, and an armadillo. The girls were amazed.
