I attended this wonderful county fair solo this year and that turned out to my advantage. I met some of the NICEST people who earn their livings making people smile.  I made it my job to try to capture some of THEIR smiles and the overall happiness gravitating throughout the fairgrounds.  Many thanks to John and Lauri who took the time to show me a slideshow of some of the most magnificent photography I've seen in a long time.  You guys are the best.

I even got a rubber ducky fix!

Thank you to everybody who spent a few minutes chatting with me before it got busy. Hope to see you all next year.
