As the subject line, quoting the 1980s jingle for the Westchester County, New York, fair suggests, I'm sharing pictures of the 2024 Jackson County, Michigan, fair.

And here's a horse enjoying their temporary accommodations and having a bag full of hay and the triumph of a bunch of ribbons plus a little statue. And say, what is that fancy aqua one with the side ribbons? Computer, enhance!

It's a 4-H Hippology Master and I guess Hippology makes sense for the term, but it sounds like making fun of horse studies.

Not sure who was supposed to be in this barn but they certainly cleaned up well!

I'm all but certain this is the place to find rabbits, though.

There's always educational panels around the animal exhibits; here's one about changing litter and doing so with less waste, which is possible because most rabbits pick a spot where they want to pee and stick to that. (Rabbit pellets are really not a problem; they're odorless and don't smoosh or anything.)

A couple Californian rabbits give me the cold shoulder to chat amongst themselves, probably about me.

Californian here looks at me and is not pleased that I'm being such a bother.

Totally different Californian also not seeing where I get off thinking I'm all that.

Here's a rabbit a couple cages down too busy being cool for me.

Tongue! Got a picture of one Californian's tongue, grooming their roommate.

I can't swear this Californian spent the night before in wild revelries but if I said they did, would you dispute my assessment?

Here's the cover for a bunny's acoustic guitar covers of Clash songs.
