We first walked through the petting zoo and saw many extraordinary animals, i.e. animals that can’t be seen in the Valley of the Sun. We saw an animal from Australia that resembles the folkloric jackalope, an antelope, zebra, giraffe, dromedary, buffalo, ostrich, emu and several other animals.
We walked through another barn full of cows and other animals common to the area. The first animal was a Clydesdale horse named Major. What a beautiful specimen. Another barn had several cages of unusual and beautiful pigeons. Some of them had tails that fanned out like a turkey. Others had colorful feathers providing beautiful coats. 
One sheep was getting its wool sheared and many others had been sheared wearing manmade coats to keep them warm.Periodically, I had to stop and rest my weary bones. Carrying my weight is too much for this 71-year-old body. I am working on solving this problem.
While we were resting, we watched two stage shows that were performing simultaneously and actually facing each other. The noise from one show hampered the audio of the other show.
Bob wanted to ride the Ferris wheel but afraid of the effect on my health, I declined. We walked around the rides wishing that we were young again so that we could ride.After splitting a sausage on a bun that was longer than a foot long hot dog, we toured the crafts and collections exhibits and the fine arts and culinary arts exhibits. I picked up a book that tells how anyone can be part of the Arizona State Fair. Maybe in the future, I will enter some of my recipes and/or collections.
At the end of venture, I thirst for a beer. Bob and I walked back to the midway where I bought a beer. As I drank the beer, we watched some young people break dancing. It looked like a lot fun but looked dangerous to an old fogy.
