An Episode Of The Simpsons

"Now I really feel like I am living in an episode of the Simpsons" - Lorraine Cooper 31st July 2005.

This proclamation was caused by our visit to the Lake County Fair this weekend. To be honest it is not really that different to the Surrey County Show. They have livestock judging and sales, fairground rides, local arts and crafts, the police and fire engines show up, even a demolition derby and a Clydesdale horse parade.

The highlight of the day for me, asides from seeing the very cool vehicles that the Lake County Sheriff get to play with, including jetskis, mountain bikes, snowmobile and some sort of weird urban assault vehicle, in addition to their normal, Harleys, cars and SUVs; was the tractor pulling. On Eurosport they have really altered this time honoured tradition to some huge souped up "tractors" pulling the sled. At the fair, they were using stock tractors for the most part, or at least very close to it.
