Working at the County Fair: Ice Cream Freeze Off and Rainbows

This past summer, I was able to work for the Fremont County Fair and Rodeo in Riverton Wyoming. Everything was so new to me, someone who had only been to a handful of Rodeos and never been to a county fair before. Although my main responsibilities were to input information into the computer, I was also able to take pictures for the fair. They wanted me to get some shots of everything that was going on so they can use the pictures on their fliers and fairbook in the future (how cool huh!).

I was able to get tons and tons of pictures. And now that I have a computer that actually works (my laptop died this summer, delaying my processing these fun images), I can finally share them with you. So, without further ado, my experiences working for the fair. Enjoy!


This was a double rainbow that appeared on the first day of the fair. We were all worried that the rain would ruin many of the activities. But it didn't pour too bad, and how awesome is that site?! I only wish I could have done a better job at capturing it. I'm afraid it caught me unprepared. I had to run across the grounds from the hypnotist show to grab my camera, and the card was full (eh, I was doing my best storing the images when I didn't actually have a reliable computer to work with). I merged a couple of shots in photoshop and was able to create this panorama of the scene.

The very first day of fair was the family fun day, and as part of it, an Ice cream freeze off was held. Families competed by trying to concoct their best ice cream dish using ice cream balls. The kids sure were cute rolling the balls around (and eating the contents before they even had ice cream :D ). Everyone had a lot of fun. Here is just a couple of pictures. I wish I could post them all! but then this post would be extremely long. I already have to break up my fair experience into separate posts.











Anyways, that's all the pics for now. Stay tuned for more fair pics, as I get them touched up I'll be posting more! Have a good day!
