I hope this annual past-time never leaves small town USA. It’s one of those happenings that no matter how many years have gone by, it feels like time has frozen when you go to the local small town county fair. I had a blast this summer evening at Queen Anne’s county fair in Maryland! 
I hope this annual past-time never leaves small town USA. This campground was filled with laughter, carnival lights, games and smiles.
All ages watching as livestock is being judged at the 4-H portion of this county fair.
This pint sized cowgirl displays her horse’s ribbons with pride on her stall.
Proudly displaying the Maryland State Flag on this barn stall door. A “penny” for this horse’s thoughts.
A girl and her horse…
A fair isn’t really a fair without carnival food. My favorite this year was by far the “Crab Cake” dinner hosted by a local civic group.
I couldn’t leave without a candied apple. What’s your favorite fair or carnival treat?
I’d love to hear about the fairs and carnivals you’ve visited this summer. If there is one you believe is a must, please let me know in the comment section and I may put it on my summer to do list for 2019.
