We visited with all the animals, Aidan particularly liked the very friendly sheep that licked his fingers. We observed an auction and as we entered the building Craig cautioned me strongly about raising my hand or making any kind of gesture at all, as the last thing we need is a lamb in the backyard. It just so happened that that particular lamb went for $30 dollars per pound!! It must be some gloriously good lamb or the little FFA girl had some grandparents planted in the crowd.
We visited most of the exhibit halls, I think my favorites were the garden exhibits and of course, the giant vegetable exhibits. This enormous butternut squash could easily be mistaken for a baby seal!
another big hit was the Entomology table put up by UC Davis, the students there were letting people gently get to know the hissing cockroaches and the very strange Walking Sticks.
