Redwood Acres Fairground, Eureka

We made our way on to Eureka to Redwood Acres Fairgrounds. We weren't able to register because the host left for the day so we picked a spot and headed to the other fairgrounds in Ferndale. We had stayed there on our previous two visits last month but, of course with the fair there, there wouldn't be any RV camping there.

We made it to the fair a little before 11.


There were some intersting entertainment groups. We watched this western dance troup and the Kitchenaires band. We didn't want to miss an opportunity to see the Kitchenaires. They play kitchen implement instruments modified with kazoos, washtub bases, washboards, pan lids etc. Always fun to see.


They play some mean kazoos and washtubs.

We enjoyed seeing the handiwork (quilts, furniture, crafts, art, photography, etc.)of all the participants.

We especially enjoyed the duck races. The master of cerimonies is Robert Duck (his real name). Dawn got to race a duck named "Lord of The Wings"

Duck races are over in a flash. You can't blink. They are motivated to get to the finish line and a little swim and a snack.

The animals are a favorite as well. This alpaca llama, named Bibbidy-Bobbidy-Boo, is so cute. They had a table of little bowls of water with fushia blossoms. Really colorful.
