Mason’s First Visit To The Cobble Hill Fair

It was a big day for me yesterday as I got to take Mason to his very first Cobble Hill Country Fair. As usual for this event the weather gods blessed it with clear blue skies and warm sunny weather. Carrie came along with Mason while Paulette stayed home with Rylie to guard the homestead.

Mason got to drive an old truck complete with stick shift…

and a shiny old red tractor too!

We did come away from the fair with one kind of funny story though. I asked an old gentleman hanging around the old red tractor above if we could put Mason in the driver’s seat for a picture. He said “that would sure be o.k. by me”!  Mason loved it and afterwards I thanked the man for letting us take the picture. He just looked at us and said “it’s not my tractor”. So, that happened!

The miniature horses were a big hit!

“Do you think I could ride that little horse?”

Here’s what I write pretty much every year about this small, crafty, fun fair mostly for little kids:

This event is a real old fashioned "fall fair" for the whole family. You won't find any carnival rides here - there's not a rocket-ship, tilt-a-whirl or roller-coaster to be found. Nor are there any of the side-shows and electronic games blasting out heavy metal ear-busting music.

Next, we were off to see the chickens, roosters and ducks

“Let’s go that way, Grandpa!”

We had a great morning walking around the fair taking in all of the exhibits especially the animals which Mason loved. He saw chickens, roosters, birds, horses, cows, sheep, goats and seemed to find them all interesting. His favourite animal sounds were definitely the loud “baaaa……..baaaaaa….baaaaa” from the sheep.

Mason’s favourite thing was probably sitting in a fire truck…

and putting the Fire Chief’s hat on!

The fire truck was a huge hit with Mason and our little man was a big hit with the firemen too. They took him right up into the cab and made him the Fire Chief!

This is so much fun!

By the time we finished up at the fair, we had one tired, but happy little boy!  We got back home just in time for lunch and Paulette did not disappoint us at all. All in all, Saturday was a great day around here as taking Mason to his very first Cobble Hill Country Fair was a lot of fun for sure.

Thanks for visiting!
