A day at the fair

Sunday Tammy and I visited the NW Montana fair in Kalispell.   In addition to checking out the vendor's building to see what home businesses were represented (four of them), we checked out several of the horse races.

After a three year absence horse racing returned the the fair on Saturday and Sunday.  The crowd on Sunday seemed ok, though it was easy to find seats under the grandstand to watch the races.   The races we saw were ok but it seemed like more time was spent waiting for a race than in watching them.

It was the last day of the fair and there were no crowds.  The Kalispell fair is small and not too exciting.  Especially to a guy who grew up in North Dakota and attended the ND State fair in Minot in addition to visiting the MN and Western Washington state fairs.  Even the county fair in Rochester, MN had more pizazz.

We did see a group of people dressed up in theme with their llamas.  We were not sure why.  One lady was dressed as Middle Eastern princess and her llama was dressed up to look like a camel.  One boy and his llama were dressed alike.
