wood county fair -- pari-mutuel racing

On Thursday, at the fair, we got a bucket of french fries and a mountain of curly fries, and some lemonade, and sat in the grandstands to watch the trotter racing. The horses were beautiful and they had a nice winners circle. Local businesses financed the races and also the blankets for the winning horses. We joked about how we liked the blankets with the phone numbers for the businesses.

My local store, North Grove Grocery, supports a trotter -- his name is Mister Leone. We decided that I needed to support a race and get a blanket for my business -- so it would be Laura's Garden: New Orleans North as the white-colored logo on my scarlet victory blanket! After that racing, it was off for pie on a stick and milk shakes!
