Yesterday, my friend Victor and I visited the Cornish Fair in, of all places, Cornish NH!
My interest was mainly in the ox pulling events. For some inexplicable reason I have always been drawn to displays of pure muscle and determination. Of course, I did not limit myself to the pulling ring. I also spent time photographing young teamsters showing off their ability to control a team in various events. I even made a few passes through the midway to photograph people!

Looks as if the Cornish Fair was not overcrowded. Some of those teamsters for the oxen looked bigger than the oxen! Always a fun event especially when the crowds are not in attendance.
