The
Flatt triplets are coming to the Fair! Earlier this year, Wayne Flatt was surprised with three identical
calves born on his farm. This was a VERY rare occurance. It's one in 106,000 that a cow will have triplets but
it is even more rare to have identical triplets! Click here to learn more about the calves. Don't miss your chance to meet these very special calves and talk to the farmers that
are raising them.
Don't miss the Gypsy Vanners at the horse show this
year. Members of this breed are usually of pinto coloring and have many draft characteristics,
including heavy bone and abundant feathering on the lower legs. They are smaller in stature than a regular draft horse but
larger than a light horse. Click here to learn more about the breed. Don't miss your chance to meet them at the fair. The theme for the fair and parade is "Any Theme from Disney on Parade."
