I Wouldn’t Mind Going To A Flea Market But The Weekly One Here Is Held In The County Fair Barn…

Even though I was born on a farm I don’t care to shop while being surrounded by the aroma of livestock manure. They clean the building but the odor lingers and gets up my nose. They do have a lot of interesting things there for sale though.

We used to go to the county fair every summer, sometimes even the state fair. That aroma was everywhere, lol. In spite of that, I miss it so much.

If you want to experience the aroma of old times, watch the Democrats' convention in Chicago this summer. 🙄

Coming from a UK town this sounds great to me! Fresh ground coffee with breakfast and some local beer to take home!

I miss the smell of livestock and manure, it sure beats the city stench of old kitchen garbage and car exhaust.

@Adrift Go to Waterloo Iowa the second week of September for the Cow Show. It's
a huge carnival type thing, and you can see prize heifers'.

It's also called the Cattle Congress.

I grew up in Iowa, I know exactly what you mean.

Well, if it gets up your nose, that's a deal breaker. Such a shame!😐

We have a big one here but when it rains it's a sloppy mess

@Lilnonames I'll bet it is? Do they have Tom Thumb Donuts there?

Lilnonames · F

@DogMan no

posting. They had a little booth where they made them while you watched.
