Well last weekend it could not have been any more humid had it rained! It was also just warm enough to make it really uncomfortable, but in spite of the humidity and hot sun bearing down on all of us we had a great time. Our neighbor Cheri aka Betty was quite a character, we really enjoyed her company and optimism. Dotty also is a new found friend. We plan to meet sometime in the next week or so.
Sales for me were better than I had expected as it was a 4 H event where activities are the main focus. Those who dropped in to see what I was selling seemed to like what they saw and a few people even made a purchase or two.
The 4 H Country Fair was filled with activities. Horse riding competitions - what beautiful animals horses are; oxen pulling (great BIG animals, WOW), iron man competition where they were flipping 500lb tires! The younger crowd were showing some of their livestock: cows, chickens and what not - hoping for that blue ribbon prize. Pie eating and skillet throwing contests. Birds of Prey organization was there as well singing groups for young and old alike. There were even alpacas there from a nearby farm where there is a herd of 85 of these lovely big eyed sweet looking mammals. Alpacas have a beautiful soft downy texture wool. Glen Ridge Alpaca Farm in Portsmouth, RI is the home of these docile animals. They are on Facebook for more information. It really was a fun time in spite of the sweltering weather.
I was glad I was there. Glen Park in Portsmouth, RI is a nice, well kept park and the city should be proud of it as well as Glen Ridge Alpaca Farm.
