The Noble County Fair is just a short distance from our camp. The livestock entered include cattle, cows, a few horses, hogs, alpaca and lamas. Assorted chickens, ducks, and rabbits were also represented. They have an Old Time Gas and Steam display but we didn’t see any steam engines. There were a couple stationary gas engines but most entries were tractors from the 1920’s thru 1950’s, some completely restored and other in original condition.
We watched and listened to the auctioneer for a while. We both kept our hands in our pockets out of fear that we might be forced to take a cow home with us and there isn’t that much room in the Roadtrek.
We had the worst Italian Sausage sandwich ever. Six dollars got something served on hotdog roll with very little grill onions, a bland sauce, and the sausage had very little flavor. The 4-H club had the best bargain with their large cups of soft serve ice cream for a dollar.
A couple of kids had a few beagle pups they were trying to find homes for. I thought Mary would be taking one home with her.
The new Kendallvale Library is fantastic. It has an open floorplan with good spacing of their bookshelves. Also, the bookshelves are not over 4-feet tall providing easily accessed for everyone. They have a nicely furnished computer lab and WiFi is available throughout the building. An area that resembles a living room, including sofa, chairs, and fireplace is provided for everyone’s comfort. We spent more than an hour relaxing in comfortable chairs while we used their WiFi and read newspapers and periodicals.
More people arrived at the campground in the late afternoon but there were still plenty of spaces available. The campground has paved internal roads but the entire camping area is grass. Electric & water utility towers are scattered throughout the grassy camping area. We didn’t notice any site numbers. You just park where you want and run your electrical cord to the nearest utility tower.
