We visited the state fair Thursday. We checked out the quilts at the Zion Building. We said hello to pigs, goats, sheep and cows. We enjoyed ribs, beans and slaw, with peaches and cream for dessert. We saw a vintage photograph of the fairgrounds, probably taken around 1910. In the background were the Grand Building, Promontory Hall, and the gazebo. In the foreground was a large crowd of people, most of them men. It was clearly summertime, but they were all wearing suits and hats. We didn’t hit 107 degrees like the day before, but most people Thursday were wearing the least they legally could. I’m told the fair park will see big changes over the next decade: new livestock barns, a parking garage, and a permanent Ferris wheel. I do hope they don’t change things too much. I especially hope there will still be a state fair quilt challenge, because this is just so much fun!
