This past weekend I missed the Denver County Fair for the 4th year in a row. Denver County is completely urban, by the way, and so the fair does not feature animals like the baleful bovine in the photograph above, but other things that make it, according to The Denver Post, the "craziest county fair in the country." Last year there was a marijuana pavilion, which gave out free samples of what they claimed was not marijuana, but actually was, resulting in many people getting sick or high or both. This year the marijuana pavilion was replaced by a Kitten Pavilion - yes, a Kitten Pavilion - and featured daily appearances by "celebrity cat" Lil Bub, a "talk show host and published author." Really? Talk show host? Published author? Other attractions were the Geek Pavilion and rides on The Clydedale Unicorn (named Uniclyde). Now that does sound like a photo opportunity. Oh well - maybe next year.
