Consider that this coming Saturday (7th) begins the PA Farm Show, a week-long extravaganza in a vast collection of buildings around Harrisburg (agriculture is still Pennsylvania's largest industry). Thousands attend each year, often irrespective of weather. The two major show promotions are the milkshakes (a special flavor each year), and the butter sculpture. That's right--the butter sculpture. Every year an artist is selected to create a statue (or tableau) in discarded butter. Lots and lots of it. The finished work is displayed under glass in a refrigerated display case, visible on all sides. It usually takes about five minutes to get close enough for a picture (if you can elbow past all the families taking cell phone pictures of the clan in front of the sculpture.) My favorite was a sculpture of two cows doing a Lindy Hop. I'm not kidding. Have a wonderful 2017, filled with good health, happiness, and a few more gigs of images.

I finally have to ask? So many of these "Country Fairs?" that you capture so many neat photos, depict some of the "heaviest weight folks?" I have ever seen. I mean there are women who surely break or very closely break 3oo pounds? Or most certainly close to that?? I'm not saying on occasion we might see the odd one here of that stature? But extremely rare indeed. Is this "just one of those things in the USA?" just curious? cheers, ted -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Jim Shulman Sent: January-01-17 3:55 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: [Leica] PESO 01 01 17 http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/focusit/2017+sm.jpg.html M3, Summilux 50, Neopan 400 Jim Shulman Wynnewood, PA _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
