"It's dollars to doughnuts that our state fair is the best state fair in our state!" (profound words from a song I've heard.)
This year, we actually attended the state fair instead of just talking about it. It didn't hurt that Samuel had to meet with Dr. John Loewen to consult about knee surgery...which gave us an excuse to drive to Hutchinson.
The Loewen family had us come for lunch before we ventured out to the fair grounds.
We took the tram ride, mostly because the Loewen's grandpa was driving the tractor.

But first...Taffy!
The effects of the taffy hit Samuel first!
It was a warm day, but filled with a variety of new sights, and fellowship with friends.Thanks Loewens for showing us around.
