State Fair Day 5

Tuesday was a really great day at the fair.  We saw a sheep dog demonstration that was just fabulous.  Of course I love sheep since they make wool which makes  yarn - but watching this dog make the sheep move around was so impressive.  The owner talked a lot about how the process but the sound system wasn't great so we missed quite a bit but one thing he said was that a good sheep dog could replace two ranch hands but the problem was that a good sheep costs as much as four ranch hands. 

We also saw some horses being judged and some had beautiful braided manes which were very hard to photograph because the horse didn't stay still. 


That evening we had tickets to the Oak Ridge Boys which was wonderful.  The opening act was Jimmy Fortune who use to be with the Statler Brothers.  Since it was the anniversary of 9/11 they of course played a lot of patriotic songs.  They also sang songs from their new album and I think I liked some of their new songs even better than their old.
