The Fair and The Farm

Last night we joined the locals at the Summit County Fair demolition derby. The families in attendence were stereotypical country boys with their wives in jeans, full makeup, and curled hair accompanied by their five blond kids all under age 10...no exaggeration.  A talented country/rock band played background music while we enjoyed fried chicken, spiral potato chips, and fresh lemonade. We joined the crowd in the bleachers at 7 pm  and sang the national anthem with the elementary students. The Summit County queen and court waved to the crowd and they circled through the mud track in their pickup truck.  After an obligatory time stalling singalong, the derby was on!

After a dusty and loud evening yesterday, we had a low key morning today at the McPolin Historic Site. An icon of Park City, the farm and barn have been the site of a few weddings and many photos. The four of us walked along some of the trails, mooed back at the cows, and played with other people's pups. The weather was sunny and breezy. We retreated back to the condo for lunch and chilled for the rest of the afternoon.
