A Day At The Topsfield Fair

It was a great New England fall day--with temperatures allowing us to walk around in our T-shirts for much of the day--and we took advantage of it by going to the Topsfield Fair, allegedly the oldest continuous fairgrounds in the U.S., about 40 minutes north of Boston.

The fair had a little of everything....pumpkins the size of my car...Robinson's Racing Pigs...an impressively large sand castle....various farm animals for Sophie to pet...and your usual glorious assortment of fried dough, corn dogs, and the like.
