We couldn't tell you the last time that we missed a fair. I guess you can say we're just fair-goin' people. Our own Leavenworth County Fair doesn't start till next week here in Tonganoxie, but tonight we took advantage of a beautiful Friday night and headed into Lawrence to the Douglas County Fair. That's one thing about living in a state with 105 counties ... they're small and they all have their own fairs. But that many fairs can sometimes lead to a fair that's only ... well ... fair. But one of these days we'll get up to the Iowa State Fair - the granddaddy of them all! Oh ... but tonight's fair did have something to offer that we haven't seen before: hail bale tossing competition! Who can toss a bale of hay the highest? See the video below (although you might want to mute the "fair" background noise) ...
