at the fair
We went to the state fair.

There were chickens ...

... and even multicolored chickens ...

... but my favorite hairdos were on the ducks.

When chickens have ridiculous multi-colored hairdos, they really look the part. Like, "I'm a rock star!" or "I'm a clown!" But the ducks don't really get into the character. They're like "I'm a duck." A duck with a great hairdo, that is.
I caught a sheep mid-baa:

and some pigs during their nap:

These guys were really rocking their harmonicas

and these seals were trained to plop their heads on anybody who posed for a picture.

I can't forget the butter sculpture

but most amazing of all is the tiny state fair inside the state fair.

I looked, but I couldn't find a tinier state fair inside of it.
More photos are here. The state fair website is here, but you can't see it for yourself until next year.
