Brandon Winter Fair

L’s spring break has been a busy one so far. Monday we were in Pansy playing with cousins and Tuesday we headed off to the Royal Winter Fair. We met up with some people that we had met before….

We had lots of fun collecting freebies from the vendors, petting baby animals in the petting zoo and watching the animals show off what training can do.


K did really well with the animals too, even getting brave enough to pet them. She kept wanting to go look at the big horses, but only if the big horses didn’t look at her.

I think it might have helped that every other child their couldn’t wait for their turn, K didn’t want to miss anything. She even pet the goats although she did have to get over the fact that “I don’t like goats”.

We watched the barrel racing, horse jumping and 4 hitch heavy horse competitions. It was fun watching L watch the competitions his heart was in his throat for the athletes every time they rubbed the barrel or bar.

The Fair hasn’t changed much since I was a girl, but I did notice one thing. There is no longer bull and bronco riding or calf roping, instead we were entertained by the Superdogs and Acrobazia, which were very good too.
