St. Mary's County Fair 2023

I know it is a little late, but I briefly visited the St. Mary's County Fair the day it opened.  Everything was fresh and new.

 

St Marys County Fair Photos

I was delayed in posting recently by major PC issues, so finally now I could look at my Fair photos and post my favorites.  The computer is still a work in progress...

I visited the Fair on September 21st to be a photographic judge, September 23rd and 24th for fun and to help the St Marys County Camera Club return entries.

      Milking a goat.  I liked the dramatic light.

I am always searching for something new to photograph, so we watched the canine pulls.  I have never heard of dog pulls, but I was concerned that it might be harmful to the pet.  The dogs are asked to pull weights without bribery by food or force.  The dog owner asks the dog to pull, but cannot touch their pet.  The background was poor, so I concentrated on the emotions.

   Brom, a 3 legged dog and champion canine puller, was rescued and loves his owner.

      The show is a favorite attraction.

     Water fun

I was surprised to see a blue eyed Clydesdale horse.
