Very hot apple crisp ala mode burning a hole through my leg at the Deerfield Fair in Deerfield, New Hampshire.

Me with my prize winning pumpkin. Okay, so it wasn't mine. But it could have been mine (in a different universe).

The gazebo in fall fashion in the center of the equestrian center at the Deerfield Fair, September, 2003.

The Ferris Wheel in the center of the midway at the Deerfield Fair, September, 2003.

Me lusting after a Kubota tractor for which, of course, I would have no useful purpose. But it's great for manly posing.

This little sweetheart was one of the junior equestrian champions taking a victory lap in the equestrian center.

The Pig Scramble in the swine ring where 8-11 year olds attempt to capture 8 week old pigs and put them into a sack. For PETA members, this does NOT injure the piglets. However it does make for some hilarious moments.

Close up of an ox, for all you city folks.

The co-winner of the ox pulling contest. This pair is shown pulling a total of over 12,000 lbs., and was declared a winner along with another pair who duplicated the feat. Pretty amazing.

My new lawn mower. Which will be parked beside my red farrari. In my fantasy garage.

Some of the entertainment along the midway at the Deerfield Fair, September, 2003.
