It must be the Arlington County Fair
It must be the Arlington County Fair

I accidentally ended up at the Arlington County Fair this afternoon. With my wonderful new camera and the macro lens. Not the right lens for a fair. But, you shoot with what you got.

Notice we have Italian, Polish, Cajun, French, and Greek greasy fried foods covered. Is this a great country or what?

And what would a country fair be without pigs?

The pig races.
The pig races.

There was also entertainment, rides, prize tomatoes… And someone won a price for growing a single stalk of corn (complete with ears) in an attractive flower pot. (No photo – wrong lens) It was utterly charming and obviously a labor of obsessive love. Even getting it to the fair must have been a challenge.

Enjoy every sandwich: Bacon, cheese and tomato. Take that piggies.
