Before leaving on our Aussie Adventure back in May I had said that I would like to go to a country Agricultural Show and it just happens that this weekend is when Kununurra Show is on. All Shane kept saying was that he wanted a Dagwood Dog - for those uninitiated a Dagwood Dog is a hotdog in batter and on a stick. He was so happy when we walked in the gates and he saw the stand that was selling them, he was over there as quick as a flash. This show had all the attractions as any other show but a country show just has something else about it.

Shane was very excited about getting his Dagwood Dog

What a fun time. Here the first game kids play at a fair is usually 'hook-a-duck'. The melon race looked like a larf, but not sure I could stomach a dagwood dog, unless they do a veggie variety. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes Mark the melon race was very funny. I eat meat and I can't stomach a dagwood dog!!
DeleteGreat series of photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by Linda
DeleteThis looks like our County Fair back in Ohio! Great foods, horse shows, melon tosses and the likes. Waht a blast. Glad you two got to attend. And yum for the Dagwood Dog :-)
ReplyDeleteYes Joanna they are good fun aren't they. Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteLooks like you two had fun Davine. My husband too would have been straight to the Dagwood Dog stand and dipped in tomato sauce to boot. :) We are very lucky to live in a regional area of Queensland and each year, have the option to access 3 different, small regional 'show's like the one you attended in Kununurra. They definitely have a very special atmosphere. ps. not sure how to 'publish' this so they only way, apparently, is Anon. (Sue W)
