The Downpour

The 157th Children's Fair was held on Saturday, August 18th, 2018.  Just before noon the skies darkened and dumped an impressive amount of rain on the fair grounds.

Mud

Woody allows his field to be used as a parking lot for the fair. The heavy rain converted it into a mud pit. The parking lot volunteers did a great job freeing people from the mud.
