On the Road Friday ~ Northern Wisconsin State Fair, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin

 It is Friday and it is time for.. On the Road Friday!

July 9th, Jeremy and I decided to visit the Northern Wisconsin State Fair. We had not been to the fair since 2016. We enjoyed several shows. A comedy routine, several bands and dancers. We also enjoyed seeing the animals, eating some fun fair food and we even went up in the sky.

Here we go to the fair!

 

I always love seeing the cows getting all pampered and ready for the show.

 

 

I fell in love with these Miniature Hereford Cattle. They were cute and gentle. 

 

 

My sister has this breed of chicken. My sister's hen is named Millie, I sent her this photo to share that Millie's friends where at the fair.

 

 

Keeping the sheep clean for the show, with these pretty outfits.

 Styling Sheep!

 

 

Another shot of my favorite, the Hereford.

 


Brown Swiss.. another reminder of my sister, she loves Brown Swiss cows.

 

It is time to eat! There were so many food trucks. It was really difficult to decided. We decided on Island Vibe~Caribbean Food. 

 



 

Monkeys at the fair!

 


 

And Up we Go!

 


 

Our boys apartment is that away. 

We had a fun day at the fair. We enjoyed a bag of kettle corn and blackberry ice tea too.

Thank you for coming along today!

  1. What a fun time at the fair Carla! I haven't been to the fair in a long time. Those cows sure are handsome. And the sheep are such sweet animals. Love those little outfits they're wearing to stay clean. Your meal of Caribbean food looks delicious. And how fun you went on the ferris wheel! It's always a bit scary when we reach the top and look down. So glad you visited the fair, Carla. Good times and great memories you will have to look back on.

  6. How fun to go to the fair with your son. I haven't been to the fair in years.

    I used to go view all the flowers, veggies, and quilts and of course, the cows. My favorite ride was the bumper cars, I'd go on with the kids. I was always tempted to join the competition but was never competitive enough to even bother.

    Enjoy the weekend. Hugs

  9. You were so brave to go on the Ferris Wheel. I don't have the guts and fear heights exceedingly! What a fun day at the fair. The sheep in their pj's was just the cutest sight!

  10. Looks like fun! It's been so long since I've been to a state fair. Occasionally, I get an urge to attend the Wisconsin State Fair in Milwaukee (West Allis). But I think I'll wait until COVID is more under control, even though most of the activity is outdoors and I'm vaccinated.

  12. Both my grandparents had Holsteins. Love those Brown Swiss. Gosh I cannot remember the last time I went to the fair. Use to take my kids all of the time. Even loved seeing the Demolition Derby. Glad you had fun! Janice

  14. So. I came here looking for your fish pond post to share with a reader and saw cows! How did I miss this fun day? There's nothing like a fair in summer, but that ferris wheel picture makes me weak in the knees! Brave girl!

  16. So much fun! And Caribbean food? Yum! That has been on my list of places to go for a couple years now.... If weather permits, we will be going to a truck show there next weekend so we can at least see the grounds! And... some cool trucks!
