The routine is that I drive down to Tremonton, meet Dad there, walk around to see the exhibits, handicrafts, and livestock, eat a "Farm Bureau" hamburger, and then I head back home to Idaho and he goes home to Riverdale.
This year an added treat was that my brother, Gale, was visiting from New York, and he joined us at the County Fair. It was a great time!

While walking through the dairy cow area we stopped to watch a couple of gentlemen, Keevin Nelson and his son-in-law Matt, getting this cow ready to show. It takes a lot of effort to have livestock at the fair.
I have some cousins, Doug Payne and Peggy Payne Nelson, whose children have pigs at the fair each year - at least they have for the last several years. I usually run into them when going through the pig shed.

Gale and Dad - Gale works for John Deere and has for most of his working career. So I had to take a picture of them by a John Deere tractor - and note the John Deere caps.
