Lee Country Fair

I'm still a little behind on retelling the events of our summer, but I'll keep working on it!

The second weekend in September brings the Lee Country Fair. It's the best little fair I've ever been too, and Graham loves it. He asks about it starting with warm weather. The main reason is the coolest competition I've ever seen -- the Pedal Tractor Pull! Graham participated last year, and has spent all summer "training" for this year's event.

The Pedal Tractor Pull is exactly what it sounds like -- little kids pedaling toy tractors, and pulling skids with bricks on them! They pedal on a track made of plywood that's about 30 feet long. Last year, Graham made it about half-way. This year, he went off the track! He had a great time, and very proud of himself. He didn't win a trophy, but did get a ribbon and a t-shirt which he proudly wears.

The pictures are in reverse order, but this gives you an idea.

Graham also experienced helium balloons at the Lee Country Fair for the first time -- I think we lost two to outer space, and popped one. He ate cotton candy and played games for prizes -- in all a great day!
