Mid-South Fair 2010

     What a wonderful surprise to learn that we placed in the photography contest at the Mid-South Fair, held in the DeSoto Civic Center in Southaven, MS.

Carol won First Place in the nature category with this photo of a porcupine taken in Haines, Alaska.

Gary took Third Place in Scenery with a photo of an abandoned house along the river in Haines, Alaska.

This year at the Fair has been our favorite.  We have taken some time to get to know some of the people who put on the various exhibits. 

We met Michael, who operates Cow Town.  Cow Town is just one of the many aspects of the Great American Frontier Show.  Cow Town gives city folk an opportunity to milk a cow and learn about the milk making process from the feed bag to the milk pail.

We met Jeff, the Swampmaster.  Jeff is from Florida and actually rescues alligators that he uses in his show.  He tries to educate people about the difference between alligators and crocodiles and his show is fun and interesting.  Gary even held Wally, the alligator.
