State Fair Day 8

Day 8 at the fair was rather boring but Day 9 made up for it.  On Day 8 we saw the Boeing Jazz band, spent time at the Watusi cattle show and spent quite awhile going through the commercial buildings one more time in case we missed a handy dandy kitchen gizmo or something else that we can't imagine how we lived so long without.  Some of the presenters are pretty funny - I overheard one giving a kitchen show and he was passing out toothpicks so the audience could taste the things he had cooked during the demonstration - "ok folks, this is the next to the last day and I am running low on toothpicks, so if you could just lick them clean after you try the food and put them back in the container, maybe I won't run out" 





The Ankole-Watusi is a breed of cattle originally native to Africa. Its large, distinctive horns that can reach up to 8 feet (2.4 m) from tip to tip, are used for defense. Ankole-Watusis weigh from 900 to 1,600 pounds (410 to 730 kg).  (thank you Wikipedia)
