Fried Cheese Curds - one of many fine fair foods at the Vilas County Fair. In addition to cheese curds there were brats, cotton candy, funnel cake and ribboned fried potatoes - no fried butter though. Pete and I checked out the County Fair last weekend.

There weren't very many animals. Just a few chickens that had nothing on Pearl, Henrietta and Flora, but there was a small petting zoo with LLAMAS!

Food, vegetables, fruit, carnival rides, games and animals. The only thing missing at the County Fair was . . . a Civil War cannon?
