You do realize that "fare jumping" refers to people skipping out on their obligation to pay for services and not people opting out of going to a state gathering to judge chickens and cows while eating pork rinds and corn dogs.
Right????
Hmmm. Maybe not.
I believe you.
In all seriousness……
I'm a city boy. Wildlife was pigeons and squirrels and I guess rats.. (Never could figure out why there were no small pigeons. They were all the same size. Don't they hatch small?? I dunno.)
When I moved to Florida I went to the Florida State Fair. Never went to a State Fair before. I never knew there were so many different kinds of ducks and chickens. Always thought there was just chickens and roosters. Ducks and……Duckettes?? Watched a few livestock judging events and had no idea what was going on. No idea as to what they were looking for. I just cheered when everyone else did. Winning steer looked a lot like all the other steers. I dunno.
But it was interesting and a lot of fun. Pretty neat to see for the first time. Food was excellent. Carnies were a little odd.
To quote a famous album "a splendid time was had by all."
2/3 truth. I am a hillbilly that has had grand champion ducks the last 2 years, but I hate the fair.
Ducks and drakes(males), and if you have no idea what they are looking for, then you'd fit right in with the rest of us. I raise them and my kids pick the ones that go to the fair. I'm convinced we win because we know and get along with everybody, its politics.
