1st stop is the gold fish fishing challenge. If you fish in the morning, you're guarenteed to carry around your $1 goldfish winning catch all day.

My younger son didn't like the authentic smell of the animal Showing Area

In the back of this 1st stall were some crafts. Exit the back door into the carnival OR we turned right and walked the Prarie flowers and explored the path. And look at this great bee identification sign, helped with IDs for our recent burrowing beetles found in evanston, and the all black worker bees found collecting earlier this year.

One of our first stops was the 4H fair. Here younger son discovered the Lego builds that kids made.

It was one of his highlights of the day. He's our Lego monster! We also found over 50 boards dedicated to bug collecting... Moms spent 30 minutes exploring :-)
