We visited en famille the livestock and imagined what it woukld be like to live on a farm and whether we could live off the land. The idea though of raising critters knowing eventually we'd eat them kept us realistic. But who knows, maybe one day the Mahatmas will be on our own Green Acres instead of the Valley.

We spent three hours total at the Fair and it was fun. The wuestion was whether it was worth it. We easily broke triple digits between entrance costs, wristbands, and food. Looking at the sunburnt faces of the kids and having them quietly shlep around at home from the near heat exhaustion, yeah, it was worth it. Peace has returned.
