Had a great time at the Otsego County Fair in Morris, N.Y., yesterday.  My fair day started with our live broadcast and included harness racing, watching some livestock shows, washing sheep (yes, I said washing sheep), food, pig racing, and parade with fireworks being the finale.  Met some great people and learned some a few things along the way.  Here is my photo/video diary of the day:
