Hillsdale County Fair

Tomorrow is a very big holiday in Hillsdale County -it's Fair Day. Fair Day you ask - well it's the opening day of the Hillsdale County Fair. It's such an important day that all the schools are closed. There is a parade through town that officially opens the parade with bands and fire trucks and farm equipment. You may think this is funny, but for people living in Hillsdale, fair week is sacred.

Dan and I try to go at least once. We usually get dinner, walk around and check out student exhibits - generally animals. We even walk around the midway so that we can see all our students -not doing their homework. It's definitely an experience.
