| It's opening day of the Alaska State Fair! We headed over to Palmer to check it out. And what a day for it. Sunny and warm; couldn't ask for better. |

An impressive pig. What's nice about seeing farm animals at the state fair is that they are all cleaned up, manicured and looking good. They have pigs at our local park back home but they are usually wallowing in the mud and completely covered with dirt.
