Demaree Fair, High Ridge, MO, October 2005

The Demaree Fair is named after an early settler in this area and is run by the local historical society. It is held yearly on an old family farm at the outskirts of High Ridge. Featured are the sights, sounds, and activities of 19th Century Jefferson County, Missouri.
I visited the Fair on Saturday, October 1.
This set of pictures was shot with a Pentax MV body, some with Pentax-M f:1.7 / 50mm lens, some with a pistol-grip Sun Optical preset style f:4.8 / 85-210mm zoom with T-Mount.
Film was Konica/Minolta ASA 200 for prints.

I wish I could have gone, but simply could not make it. Tom said he met Betty Jo.

Quite an event and looks like a lovely day. Liked the shots of the battlefield and the band. Cute they way you were able to get the photo of the dog under the cannon.

Nice photos, Ed. Like Nancy, I am sorry I missed it, but I had other commitments.

Darn. I should have gone to it. I especially liked photos of the bands.
