Well, in actuality, the Dutchess County Fair affords a whole host of opportunities - even on a rainy day. In between many barn-sheltered conversations, we found time for shaving cows, reading, watching cow shows and even nail painting. The rain added a cozy feeling to the day and made the joy of human companionship that much more palpable.
