So many good photos! The one I'm curious about is the team of yoked -- what? Are they oxen? Bulls? Whatever they are, they're as handsome as can be, and their handlers are pretty, too!
Linda -- They sure looked like oxen to me but I don't know the story behind them. (I'm a city guy, remember!) Even though it was scorching hot, the parade was a lot of fun.

Wonderful photos as always! Thanks for bringing the Marshall Co. Fair home to my computer. Can't take the heat anymore so stayed home in cool air!!!
Glad I could help, Kathleen. It was devilishly hot outside.
