Slice of life: Quay County Fair

I spent 30 minutes Friday afternoon at the county fair, watching life pass in front on me.

QCS reporter Jerrene Bradley spent 30 minutes Friday afternoon at the Quay County Fair.

Here's what I saw:

  • James and Susie Lott were sitting at one of the tables enjoying a hamburger and corn dog.
  • Billy and Crystal Burns, along with three kids, were eating a giant turkey leg, ribbon fries and hamburgers with drinks.
  • Cecil and Vickie Naylor and Doyle Frasier were all walking down the aisles looking at all the booths.
  • Glen and Wanda Evans were seen visiting with Homer and Joan Farrow.
  • Phillip and Kathleen Box were enjoying a hamburger while taking a break from their booth.
  • Sherry Byrd was walking around holding her new baby boy.
  • Bobby and Joan Meade were sitting at a table having a cold drink while visiting.
  • Ruth Ann Litchfield walked by with her plate of ribbon fries.
  • Inside the building it was nice and comfortable under the air conditioning, but outside it was a hot and muggy 92 degrees.
  • In the background you could hear the bluegrass music being played.
  • Lots of kids were walking around through the aisles eating big slices of watermelon. It sure looked refreshing, so I talked a little girl into bringing me a slice. Boy was it ever refreshing.
