Yesterday afternoon Mother and I went to the Bonner County Fair. After checking out a variety of items in the main exhibit hall and visiting with old friends, we made our way to the "Brat Shack." We feel we've done our duty this year in patronizing the Penskovers with their new enterprise. I've enjoyed a couple of their brats as have Bill and Mother.
After sitting in the shade enjoying our sandwiches, we moved on to the Panhandle Antique Tractor Club's stationary baler demonstration. The guys and the baler put on quite a show of how the packaging stage of hay harvesting occurred in the good ol' days before new-fangled technology took over.
Admittedly, hay production goes a little faster these days, but it may not be quite as creative. The old baler was a charming piece of the past.
Before leaving, we hung around the Wishing Star booth in great hopes of winning the big screen plasma TV. Well, the Sony 32-incher is going to have to suffice. Max Rafferty won the big prize.
The Fair was oodles of fun this year. I went almost every day and enjoyed seeing lots of old friends and plenty of samples of Bonner County talent. Plus, the food was good. And, last night my sisters brought me my ribbons and $7 monetary rewards for the entries.
Overall, a great Bonner County tradition has seen its 80th year, and now we begin planning for next year.

The people at the brat shack (I'm assuming it was the one located just east of the big arena building) must like you. When I ordered a german sausage, skip the saurkraut, I got a tough old dried up thing and a stale hard bun. What a bummer! I hope to remain anon.
I'm saddend that one of our customers was this unhappy with our product and didn't come back for something to their satisfaction. If you are not happy with our product, please come tell us. We pride ourselves with sausage that we have made by a German butcher,we make our own sauerkraut which is wonderful and we have our bread made fresh for every even we do by a Spokane bakery! We are good people and would never want our customers unhappy! We will gladly give your money back as we want people to get what they pay for in this time of everything being so darn expensive.
