It's getting close to time for the Ulster County Fair again. So lovely to sit at the top of the Ferris Wheel at sunset and see a full view of the Ridge to the west and the lights of the night-time fair below. One price for admission gets you on as many rides as you can stomach. Or skip the rides and head back to the Rabbit Barn, hosted by the local 4-H chapters. See the sheep being shorn and then wearing their funny little coats to keep clean. Pigs, goats, cows, draft horses and of course the Poultry Barn with its exciting array of exotic birds all raised by eager young people. The pig races are in the right-hand back corner. You might want to stop at the Methodist food tent on the way there. Be prepared to be amazed by the wool and fiber exhibit -- always one of my faves as well. One price admission, clean bathrooms, good food, animals, rides, kettle corn, funnel cakes, and fresh lemonade. The Ulster County Fair is lots of fun and not to be missed! July 30-Aug. 4, 2013.
