6.  Sleeping in the barn <\/strong>– Do you really sleep in the barn all week?  Yes, we sleep right next to our cows!  Granted, the first couple of years we stayed in a hotel with Mom, but as we got older, we either fell asleep on a cot or an air mattress.<\/p>\n

5.  The variety of animals raised in the Midwest – <\/strong>There is no better education for anyone regarding the variety of animals nurtured and cared for in the region than the State Fair. Be it llamas or horses or rabbits or goats, there is an enormous amount of hardworking and dedicated people at the fair each year.  (PS – this a memory added by David)<\/p>\n

5.  Memories…. I cannot remember<\/strong> – there are so many memories, some that I remember all the details, others I do not.  For those I don’t remember, I feel it necessary to blame it on the blender, wop, wine tent, Busch Light, or all of the above.<\/p>\n
