County fairs are the "real deal." But I have to admit I haven't been to one in decades. I hope they haven't changed.


We stick with the ones that have a high 4-H presence, many entries form high school home economics and shop classes and plenty of quilts, jams and baked good to be judged. They are still out there! Thanks for the visit Az.

Northern California's Sonoma County probably conjures visions of vineyards and wineries but there is a strong historical and current tradition of beef, dairy, sheep and poultry production here. Farmers Day at the Sonoma County Fair honors these agricultural activities with some fun and entertaining events; stock horse "line sorting". wild cow milking, a pig scrambile, draft horses, sheep sheering, hide racing, and sheep dog trials. County fairs will always be my favorite celebration of a local sense of place. Please try the downloads.

Phil, excellent set of photos showing a bunch of the different activities at a rodeo. I used to go to them in Florida and miss them.

Thanks Donna, it was a great day! We went to the fair to attend the sheep dog trials..... I have too many photos. All of these events were great fun including the mutton busters https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-546750-1.html. I'm still able to look at county fairs as a place where folks attempt to show their best.
