Long ago, when my older children were younger than my grandchildren are now, we went to the Big E (an All-New England fair), and two happenings stand out in my memory even now literal decades later.

First, we were walking among the sheep pens and, just as I was passing with my family ahead of me, a Rambouillet ram shoved his head out between the bars into my stomach to insist on petting and snuggles. I can only presume that I resembled someone he loves and, because I love sheep, I was happy to oblige.

Second, because the cattle pens were crowded the Highland cattle were tied in an open area outside the main cattle barn. Both the Highlanders and their owners were incredibly friendly, with the club members showing off their beautiful, gentle animals with tremendous patience and enthusiasm as they extolled the virtues of the breed to anyone willing to listen.

I'm sure the Uk fairs are different here, but... It's family tradition to go to the fair every year, but my sister and I are the only ones who go these days.
My sister loves all the scary rides. There have been times where she has bullied me onto insane ones. But my favourite time, she encouraged me onto these 40 Metre tall swings. It goes around in a circle at the top and then comes down. I was terrified to go on it. Literally shaking. Especially when the seats started lifting. But when we got to the top I could see the entire town. I saw sea gulls flying close, and underneath us. It was incredible. Felt like flying. And then we went back down, and my knees were a little weak! It's my favourite ride now, every year.

It's funny that I found this thread just after getting a message from my sister, there's another fair to go to
:oops:
