Here are some pictures to commemorate our evening at the Brown County Fair in Ohio. We headed an hour east, out to the hometown of Ulysses S. Grant to experience an old fashioned good time. We watched a horse show, the midwestern arm wrestling championship, and a tractor pull competition. Being the hometown of Ulysses S. Grant, there was an impressive presence by the Brown County Republican Party, and alas, no Democratic Party. To quote Todd, "There were some really scary people there." Going to his hometown makes me realize why U.S. Grant was one of the most worthless presidents ever; there is not a whole lot going on in Brown County besides Tattoo parlors and evangelical churches. However, a good time was had. We met up with some of Todd's work friends and gained some insight into po-dunk culture.

There were eight presidents from Ohio (That's a lot, I know!) and so far I have been the the hometown/birthplace of 4 of them. (Grant, Harrison, Taft and Hayes) It's my goal to see all of them, and oh what a goal that is. Amy Elliott, if you are reading this, are you with me?
