Tweeting at the Jennings County Fair

I had my first experience of an Indiana county fair on Thursday night, June 24.  I tweeted and photographed the whole time I was there.  Here are the tweets as they happened.  Please note this is all intended in fun.  I loved the fair and I love being in Indiana.

6:31 PM Jennings County Fair here I come! Late getting here. Fr. Meyer of St Josephs is driving.
6:35 PM Shoot. No tractor pull. Track too muddy. Tractors getting stuck.
6:37 PM  Record attendance last night. Missed the baby contest. I guess every kid under one years old gets entered and judged as cute or not cute.
6:40 PM  There is also a little miss and mr Jennings County. The little girl who won is Catholic. Wants to meet the bishop.
6:42 PM Free admission. Woohoo!
6:44 PM "Good evening. How's the corn doing?"
6:47 PM  Checking out the 4H projects. There's one for Lego construction.  Cool.
6:51 PM  Where's the goats?
6:52 PM  I was just told that Ashley's calf has just won reserve grand champion.
Whatever that means.
6:59 PM  I still haven't eat'n anything fried yet.
7:05 PM  People are chasing goats in the ring. I'm not sure why.

7:06 PM  Oh. They're getting ready to show them. I've been told all the goats are Catholic. 

Whatever that means.

7:09 PM Goats

7:10 PM  Sorry. Catholic goats. 

Whatever that means.

7:14 PM Boy they certainly do have some interesting categories around here.

7:15 PM "Hey how's your corn doin'?"

7:16 PM  Pigs. Cool.

7:18 PM  Fr. Meyer has been asked to "show a pig". Whatever that means.

7:19 PM  Show a pig what?

7:20 PM  Ms. Jennings County Fair and moi. 

7:23 PM  Pigs. Fr. Meyer is disappointed that they're not fighting. Me too.

7:26 PM  Cows. I've been told they are Catholic. 

Whatever that means. 

I've been asked to bless them. 

7:31 PM  Me blessings the Catholic cows. 

Whatever that means. 

One of them left me an offering on my right shoe.

7:40 PM  Fr. Meyer is showing his pig. 

Whatever that ...

8:18 PM  I call this "Jurassic Pork!"

8:27 PM  I'm going for the Twinkie. Can hardly wait.

8:28 PM  Waiting in line for the Twinkie. Surreal moment as I just found out there are people here following my tweets. One right next to me.
