Essex Junction Vermont (Champlain Valley Fair)
September 4, 2009

Late Afternoon at the Champlain Valley Fair under perfect weather conditions. The rides weren't busy yet and the crowds were trickling in for the evening.

The Midway at the Champlain Valley Fair in Essex Junction VT, with the late afternoon shadows drifting in.
Mike and Kyong stroll down the Midway past the trash and trinkets booths.
Arts and Crafts to the left, Sugar Shack and junk food to the right. Tough choices!
Some last minute coaching going on here prior to negotiating the obstacle course.
This dog handled the course with ease. Not surprising due to the agility and quick wits of a border collie.
The live lions and tiger show was controversial and had almost been cancelled.
I don't think this is one cat that Barney would have tangled with.
The solo lion in the show was not as active as I would have expected and it was extremely difficult to get any kind of an angle on a picture of him. It is unfornate that the crossbar was positioned where it was as you can get a good idea of his great colouring from the larger picture.
Lets see your house cat do this!
The final results gets you a nice reward of a piece of meat on a stick.
