State fair fun at the butterfly house

Since our dating days, JoAnne and I have loved going to the fair.   In fact, I took her to the Bath fair on one of our first dates and later to the NY State Fair.   Since we have been going for many years, we look for the unique things.   Usually there is something that just happens to be there that year or is happening only on the day or at the time you go that you have not seen before.   This year, we found a butterfly house in the horticulture building.   It was filled with monarch butterflies and was a popular attraction.  For a dollar, you could attempt to feed them using a Q-tip and a nectar the keepers had prepared.   We didn’t try to feed them but they loved our big sun hats as resting places.   It made for some light and delightful moments as the pics show.
