Don't Forget Your Hat

This Memorial Day Weekend the family and I went to the Devon Horse Show and Country Fair.  What a beautiful day!  The horses are so well trained and the people watching can't be beat!  Dog fashion shows and women's hat competitions.  You can definitely see world champions jumping, carriages and beginners little guys and girls on leadlines.

There is shopping, crafters and a midway with a ferris wheel.  The show grounds are great for walking around you can get quite close and behind the main ring and see the warm up and practice areas.  Also, this year all of the stadium seating is covered, which helps to enjoy the breezes in the shade when the heat gets to be too much.

The show is still going on and will run until June 5th.  Parking on the show grounds is running at $10.  But you can find parking a few blocks away for $5 and if you don't mind walking the regional rail R5 is also nearby.  Devon and the surrounding towns are also cute and trending for shopping and eating.

All in all it's a great family outing!
