The South Bannock County Fair

I love this time of year.  Growing up in a small town, I had the chance to go to the fair every year.  It wasn't until I was a teenager (working at Downata Hot Springs) that I realized the South Bannock County Fair was a big deal.  It's in Downey, which is not a big town by stretch of the imagination (I think there are about 650 people there, if you include family pets).  Then I married an amazing man who comes from Downey and I guess it will be a tradition from here on out to attend the South Bannock County Fair (also known as the Downey Fair).  So--a few pictures from the annual Downey Parade.....Enjoy!
