Here's to the city of Boston,
The home of the bean and the cod,
Where Lowells talk only to Cabots,
And Cabots talk only to God.
;D :-*

Well, that wasn't really a Brokie event. I went to the Topsfield Fair with my sister, and we rode Beulah the elephant. Topsfield Fair is one of those old-fashioned county fairs, with prizes given for the best rooster, best squash, biggest sunflower, etc. The real attraction is the region's largest pumpkin: over 1400 pounds! There's also a petting zoo and other wildlife displays. Even a rodeo!
There were craft huts, with a real blacksmith, leather-workers, woodworkers and their lathes. Also the typical midway games and vomit-inducing rides. There was a large selection of cowboy hats for sale, as well. All manner of junk food too.
Being an elephant nut, I especially enjoyed a little ride with Beulah, who is now 41 years old. I think she remembered me from 6 years ago. ;) I took some photos with my phone, and sent them to Lynne, who promised to post them here.
Nice thread, Lynne!
I'll add my favorite quotation:
"After Boston, there's only heaven."

Of course Beulah remembered you. Elephants never forget! :D

Just as long as you know you're not getting out of me posting elephant pictures! ;)
P.S. I love the quote!
