First time at First Monday

So my dad and I spent the day taking in the sights…
Sporting dad's sunglasses. Good thing he's always prepared.
The first thing I noticed is that there is a lot you cannot do…
They did not stuff me in a barrel or you would have seen a photo of that!
There was some really classy stuff available…
Only $45 for half a man!!
It was all interesting…
I think they give my size away for free!
This guy was explaining the benefits of this bbq pit. Something about swivel sticks and a ribulator??
Some “fair” food was also enjoyed…
I helped him with his lemonade. Oddly, they didn’t offer “tofu on a stick”. Does anyone else see a market there???
He may or may not be retired from the NYPD…
We also checked out puppy alley… there were more than just puppies!
I think sleeping animals are so cute!
Of course I thought these guys were adorable…
Kind of looks like prison, huh?
There were some cute, and not so cute, farm animals… and more chickens than you could shake a stick at.
This pig was adorable rooting around in his bowl. I think he fell asleep 
Can you tell I thought the pigs were adorable? Really I find the whole thing quite sad and DO NOT endorse getting your pets from irresponsible breeders or puppy mills.
The other thing that was quite striking about Canton is that the ability to spell isn’t a highly valued trait…
Maybe the shirt I saw that read, “Jenius” wasn’t meant as a joke
