Hooray for country fair's like the Connecticut Agricultural Fair that was held July 29 - 31 at the Goshen (CT) fairgrounds.

Ox-team pulls, horse-team pulls, tractor-pulls, cattle, sheep, goats, rabbits pigs, poultry on display. Great entertainment.
Food, merchandise, amusements. Home-made pies and cakes contests. And a lot of people enjoying this great annual event, and entertainers like Marshall Crenshaw, July 30, and David Ball, with Chris
Carmichael, July 31.

LPR felt the spirit of Federalist 57 at the
Connecticut Agricultural Fair and congratulates Todd Gelineau, Fair President (and designer of LPR's logos) and his staff, including Terri Fassio, entertainment coordinator (and LPR webmaster), for their dedicated work in bringing the fair and its great spirit to
the northwest corner of Connecticut. The 2006 fair is scheduled for July 28 - 30. Meanwhile LPR presents these photos from the fair last month.
