Modoc Fair day 2...the heavy schedule

No pictures today. Yesterday had one hour show and some strolling and he announcing duties were light. Today was the polar opposite. We had three one hour shows, one 30 minute show, and three hours of strolling plus the announcer duties. It was fun. The little one found some time to play in the sand box for a while.
At every fair we befriend many people. At this fair the BBQ vendors next to our stage have become good friends. Their BBQ pork is out of this world and Cynthia loves their tri-tip sandwich (she hates BBQ until now).
This fair had an event I've heard about but have never seen until today....the greased pig contest. A bunch of greased piglets are let loose and kids are set loose after them. They get to keep the pig they catch. The technique to a successful catch is to get the legs and hold it. The pigs are then put in a gunny sack and taken home.
