Things i miss from my own home town in America this event with the 3 year oldchild during the fair and pee-wee rodeo is known as Mutton Bustting.

The little girl has her face painted like a fierce tiger.

Sorry I was not able to download the picture because I can not quite figure out this contraption even tho Mike has showed me a few times...LOL!

The kids version of rodeinng when they ride on the back of a wholly fierce sheep and try to catch greased pigs and ride baby calves, instead of doing the big cowboy things that the older men do.

lol, interesting get-to-gether. haha

you know, Priscilla, during my tenure @ Allegheny College, i would attend the annual Town Parade on October, over 2-3 thousand people would come out to show case their fruits, harvests, clothing, American Spirit. hehehe.

You saw everything. Red heads, blondes, brunettes, black heads (hahaha), whites, latinos, asians, blacks, inter-racial, etc etc.

Oh man, i love it!
Mix and match. Everything in One. One in Everything.

Good Ol' Americanism.

Our College-Town Fair.

could you please do me a favor, search for tdn.com

it is my home town newspaper and on the front page you will find where it says mutton bustin at kalama fair could you please click the link and grab the picture with the little girl with the tiger painted face riding on the sheep. could you pretty please paste it to this topic.

I think the people here will think it is cute.

By the way thanks for posting in regards to my friend on the other topic i posted tonight.

We can have the same event in Bohol with our Canding.

Oh thats a cute one.I think I saw that one on t.v . I love county fair here too. I used to exhibit my cross stitch and photography on every county show and even the state fair. Mostly I won first place and always on the local newspaper but since I got too busy so I am not making anything anymore for exhibit well I think I can enter my garden produce but hopely next year I will go back to exhibiting again.We always had car demolition derby,combine demolition,atv racing,tractor and truck pull and some county have girls pig mud wrestling. I always love the state fair and county fair, you see lot's of hardworking american kids competing on livestock show. They have sheep,goats and pigs. And the fair foods like corn dogs,funnel cake and lemon shake up yummy.

Thanks Lorenzo its so cute, yes Raqueal my brother in law does that stuff at the fair the demolition derby. now thats called cowboy got crunched
.Mackey it is a sport for little kids to have fun and they also run after greased pigs winner gets to keep hi pig and whatever is in the pot.

Mackey is that for adults mind to know? I know of caribou. I hope Ms. Bensi loves the animal pictures  I miss that very spoiled cat of hers she always had in her picture.

haha sure, Priscilla.

Good for her! Too bad I didn't experience this ride when I was a kid even on a goat or pig

seeing this picture reminds me of my younger days in Bohol. I would always try to sneak inside our family's Kamalig in the back and try to feed the pigs some banana leaves. And i remember seeing the workers in the back cleaning the pig pen, the chicken  stalls. Id love to help them feed the pigs, the goats, the chicken, to get my hands dirty. hahaha!

Then my yaya would always shout at the workers to get me to go back home, because i wouldn't listen to the yaya. I didn't care if they threatened to 'latus' me, i wanted to hang out with the workers and feed the animals. lol

Oh i miss the sound of the rooster's call in the break of morning.
The memories of Philippines.
