Also featured was the bucking bronco contest, and this was one of the competitors about to pay a visit to the railings curtesy of his horse. He did not look too good when he got up from that one.
Another attraction was this group of traditional dancers. There are prizes for guessing what they have just taken off and are holding in their hands.
Next is the winner of the fastest disappearing funnel cake competition. The giant ice cream also went quickly.
We also watched a performance by a Blues Brothers Tribute live on stage. They were famous for their movie in the 80s about two brothers escaping from the law after being framed. They gave us quite a show.
We were also treated to a show by a Beatles tribute band, Beatlemania. They put on an excellent show, with authentic outfits and superb guitar work. Worth the admission fee on their own.
The show is also famous for the garden produce and here is Sylvia alongside the prize-winning cabbage.
This is another picture of a big vegetable and, yes, he is sitting next to a large pumpkin. Boom Boom!
We were lucky with the weather as lots of the days were wet, and overall, this has been the rainiest Alaska summer on record. In Alaska it is important to carry on enjoying yourself and just wear the right clothes.
There were so many other attractions, a funfair, artistic performances, art and craft show, animal shows we have not got space to fit it all in. The whole thing lasted 10 days and we went twice and still didn't see it all.
Yet another not-to-be-missed occasion in our year in Alaska.
Alan & Sylvia
