NVPS August 2023 Field Trip<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us at the Montgomery County Fair for a weekday field trip.  The fair is a lot of fun as it challenges the creativity and eye of the photographer.  There’s lots to photograph at the agriculture fair, however, our group this year will be focusing on the midway and rides after dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have the time, spending the late afternoon strolling around the Upper Grounds and the Old MacDonald’s Barn (https:\/\/mcagfair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2023-Fair-Map-Letter-FINAL.pdf) can be rewarding.  You’ll find a photography exhibit, old time agriculture machinery and general store, flower and garden displays, and a variety of demonstrations including chain saw sculpting.  You’ll also find the raptor tent where the local rescue organization will put on display several hawks and owls.  The racing pigs show will also be returning this year.  It always seems to bring out a smile and a few memorable images.<\/p>\n\n\n

Our group will meet just inside the main entrance about an hour before sunset.  After our usual socializing and planning, we’ll split up and begin the hunt on the midway.  We’ll find carnival games, concessions, prizes, and the colorful glitz that surrounds them.  We’ll also find fair attendees gorging on corn dogs, cotton candy, and popcorn, playing games, and enjoying the thrills of the rides.  The Grandstand will also be showing monster trucks at their show starting at 7:30pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
