The Topsfield Fair is America’s Oldest County Fair. Started in 1818 by the Essex County Agricultural Society, the Topsfield Fair was originally a one-day cattle show.

My favorite aspect of County Fairs is… pretty much everything in the big animal category. And my favorite event to watch is… the agony and the ecstacy that is big horse pull.

My site here has been dysfunctional for the past year–the transition to the new platform has been a PITA.

But… good things can come around again.
