Ledger's class was taking a field trip to the Allegan Country Fair, so of course I'm going to be going along as a helper! I was assigned 3 kids, along with my son, to wander along with them through the fair, checking out all the different educational areas. There wasn't really any sort of schedule or plan in place other than wandering around together until lunch time, so we checked out everything we could. The fair had a bunch of olden times buildings for the kids to see, an old school, post office, church, etc. that were full of different items from the early 1800s, when Allegan was first established. The kids were interested for a while, but they wanted to see the animals! We made our way over to the 4H barns and checked out all different livestock. The kids were entranced by the cows and pigs, chickens and horses! We eventually met up with everyone for lunch, but were then released back on our own. I got each of the kids some lemonade from one of the stands and asked them what they wanted to do before we left. Of course they said they wanted to go on the rides, but as I told them a dozen times, they aren't running until 3pm and we will be gone by then! So they settled for going back to the animal barns. We made our way back to the bus at the end of the day and headed home. The kids really loved it!
