County Fair

This week I chose "County Fair" by Joe Walsh. The Walsh tune off of the Album "So What" is the perfect name for this week, as the majority of my weekend was spent at the Bottineau County Fair--the oldest county fair in the state of North Dakota.

I took all kinds of pictures from the demo derby, rides and entertainment.

I have lots of pictures from Thursday's amateur night and the demo derby that was on Sunday. I have another busy week ahead, and I thought that the summer was going to be easier. I was wrong.

Here are my pics:

Bottineau's Kayla Graber sings on stage to close the night last Thursday at the Bottineau County Fair's 22nd annual amateur night.

Two derby cars collide back bumpers last Sunday during the Bottineau County Fair demo derby.

Darrin Nelson awaits the green flag to begin the demo derby Sunday.

Wet conditions made the derby pit ripe for mud slinging.

Nelson gets sandwiched by two other derby cars.

This time it was Jackson Bernstein who was in the middle.

This car nearly got tipped during the herby derby portion of the demo derby last Sunday.

Levi Kippen's herby derby car looks in rough shape late in the derby.
