My Week At The U. P. State Fair 2019

My Week at The U. P. State Fair 2019

© by Bud Lemire on Aug 21, 2019

What a great Fair it turned out to be in 2019

Monday through Sunday, I went the days in between

Tuesday, a little rain started the day

906 showed their talent in a big way

The High Flying Pages were flying through the air

Hula Hoops, the Clown, and a woman on a horse were there

An Alligator named Oscar, a Camel named Clyde

The Ruth Butler building, had Smokey the Bear inside

Spiderman was amazing, with all that he did

Doing acrobatics on the midway, for every kid

The Great Lakes Lumberjack show, was fun to see

There was a big splash, eventually

I spent much time at the Petting Zoo

Being close to nature, was what I love to do

I found myself going down a Forgotten Highway

Peacemaker was no Foreigner to us on a Thursday

My feet got pretty tired and sore

The child in me just cried out for more

I didn't know how to make it stop

Until I kept on going until I was ready to drop

I figured five days was enough time at the Fair

I took away one thousand two hundred pictures from there

I'll be back again, to the Fair next year

To take in Escanaba's U.P. State Fair, right here

This is my week at the U.P. State Fair 2019. What isn't listed in the poem, I didn't

see nor do I miss. But I know I enjoyed every moment there. I know next year I

need to plan it a bit better, for my feet and for the shows I did miss this year.

Coming away with 1,200 pictures, isn't all that bad. I got to share them

with all my friends who couldn't be there. And I had a great time.
