On Saturday, Daniel and I met up with our friends the Islemans and explored the animals and booths at the Utah County fair. Who knew that there were so many varieties of chicken? Even more surprising I think was the number of flies, how did they all get there? We spent time counting nipples on pigs when Daniel wondered if all pigs have the same number of tits. (To find out you can go find a fair of your own or view this article on comparative mammary anatomy). Exploring the arts and craft section I realized that most of what is entered into the fair (at least by kids) feels like it could easily have just been picked up off of their bedroom floor and then slapped with a ribbon, like the random pool toys wrapped up in duct tape. One of the most interesting displays was presented by the Utah Lego's user group, it included lots of trains, scenes from movies recreated with legos, landscapes, artwork and other intricate lego creations.
