Johnson County Fair

    This was the fifth year in a row that we've started the Johnson County Fair with the annual balloon race.  The race is always on opening day and this year was no exception.  We unfortunately got side-tracked eating rice and shish-kabob's and missed the actual start of the race!  We were still able to catch some balloons though.  My cousin Sandy was in town and happened to stop by with Dad so she got to see the fair as well.  The fire department had its new Strawberry Shortcake tent this year so I spent some time at the fair almost every day during the week.  One of the highlights of the week however was a supercell thunderstorm that came through the fairgrounds injuring several people and ripping down a lot of the tents and equipment.  Photos from the week follow.
