The ILLINOIS STATE FAIR had many attractions, rides, food, and lots of fun.

The "Foodway" tantalized your taste buds.

Thrill seekers enjoyed the many rides.

Lots of antiques, including these antique chain saws.  Hubby wondered if he should add Grandpa's to the collection.

Large pavilion full of antique tractors.

Some of these looked like the ones we used to have.

The butter cow is the big attraction in the Dairy Building along with all the ice cream treats.

There were even "butter mice" eating the spilled grain.

It was rumored the Prez would be there the next day, but I don't think he made it.  Here's the Prez and me:  it's probably as close as I'll ever get.

These decorated rain barrels were being raffled in the Lieutenant Governor's tent.

These newborn piglets were having their first lunch in the Piglet Nursery, and they weren't the least bit shy about it either.

Kathleen's group showed their 4-H Intercultural Project on Poland.

They each received a Superior Ribbon which is 1st Place, finishing ahead of three other groups.
