The Dixie Classic Fair





On Saturday, we headed to the Dixie Classic Fair to enjoy rides, games, and fried food. We also wanted to go because Kelsey's art teacher had entered some of her work from last year in the fair. It has been absolutely beautiful in North Carolina lately, so it was a great day to be outside. First, we found Kelsey's painting, which was excellent--she was entered with just a handful of kids from her school, so we thought that was pretty cool! Then Kelsey and Connor got to ride a couple of rides and we ate lunch. After that, we headed off to see the animals. They had goats, rabbits, horses, cows, lamas, and even a camel! The kids really enjoyed feeding carrots to the animals in the petting zoo. We also saw all the vegetables and fruit that people had entered. The first place pumpkin was over 600 pounds--It was huge!!! Then we let Kelsey and Connor each play one game, but they didn't win anything, so they were both disappointed and upset on our way home. Connor said he wanted a prize without a game...All in all it was an enjoyable afternoon.
