Probably the biggest and most well-known fair in Iowa, besides the state fair, is the Clay County Fair in Spencer, IA. It started this weekend so we decided to go. It was a nice warm summer day, perfect for the fair.
We mostly enjoyed the free entertainment and had to plan where to be and when. We did go by the animal barn, but the smell keeps me away. We looked at all the commercial booths and lots of the fair entry booths, and that's all very interesting, but no pictures.
The sign to show we are at the fair.
Our favorite performances were the magic/comedy acts. Here is one of them.
Before the last performance that we attended, we struck up a conversation with one of the members of the band who expressed the fact that he had been to several Iowa events and had found no corn on the cob. So while he was performing, Bob went to get him some and presented it to him after the performance. He was delighted.
We did not ride this, but after walking all day, it might have been welcomed.
We didn't overdo on the food, but we each did get a nutty bar sold by the Spencer Y. Mmmm good.
