They had antique farm equipment and engines for display. They also had a tractor pull contest. The tractor tried to pull a box full of dirt as far as it could with the winner being the one who pulled the furthest. We must have gotten there near the end because most of the tractors we saw just spun their wheels and let someone else have a go. The area was packed! People had lawn chairs and picnics. Crazy! Pryor was so enthralled he wouldn't even look at the camera.
They had a machine there that took the kernels of corn off the cob. They let the children feed the corn into the machine (although I must say I was a bit apprehensive. The belt on the machine could have taken an arm off!) Nearby they had another engine grinding the kernels into corn meal or corn flour (not sure which nor what differences are.) The children LOVED it!
They probably had 100 craft tents. The usual fare but with more Steelers paraphernalia. They had t-shirts, place mats, lamps, kitch - you name it with the football team logo emblazoned on it!
Clearly, the hit of the afternoon was the magic show followed by the ventriloquist show. It's a shame they were back to back because it was hard for them to sit for that long. (Pryor had had it!) Grady and Alice were laughing hysterically. They thought it was the funniest thing they had ever heard.
The apple dumplings that we brought home were fabulous! We only wished we had gotten more!
