Sportsman Show

Me, Maggie, David & Joni went to the Sportsman Festival at the Fairgrounds. This is a wall of deer heads. More amazing was the pile of spare deer heads on the floor below.

There was a giant fish tank filled with local fish and a fisherman giving demonstrations of various baits. He caught several fish while we were standing there. the giant fish tank smelled kind of bad.

This is a monster truck. This one is similar to the monster truck owned by the guy who sold me the now dead Volvo, except you didn't need a ladder to get into that one.

David was really into the RVs on display. Most of the RVs were equipped with sub-zero refrigerators, flat screen TVs and were generaly larger than our apartments.

Maggie really wanted to shoot a gun. The Gun & Knife Show was actually last week but, we found some guys in the parking lot who were willing to make her dream a reality.

This was a miniature NASCAR race although, some of the racers seemed more interested in crashing the cars than racing them. I was amazed at how little the carny working the race cared.

This was a pool where kids could pay $1 to catch a fish. Once you caught a fish, a man with a bloody rag would come over, remove the hook, and stick your still wiggling fish into a bag.

This is a kid holding a wiggling fish.

Wildlife Adventure had a booth equipped with a baby alligator and an albino snake. This woman was not supposed to walk into the middle of my shot.

The Army had several booths set up one of which you could play a video game where you could shoot insurgents with a large machine gun. This is a picture of a portly teenager showing off for the recruiter.

We went to the bird show and saw many birds. None of the trained birds were local, most weren't even from this country. It was a pretty good show, a kid in the front row almost got eaten by a giant condor.

These deer had fur on there horns. Each deer had a little informative placards. None of the information provided explained the fur. All of the information seemed to be about the various animals point values (I don't even know what that means??).

We left after trying all of the free samples of kettle corn and so-forth.

This may be a picture of me practicing on the organ. I have to find some new sheet music, I'm really tired of playing Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head.
