A Day at the County Fair
E-text prepared by Roberta Staehlin, Suzanne Shell, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"A Day at the County Fair" by Alice Hale Burnett is a children's story written in the early 20th century. The book follows the delightful experiences of three young friends—Beth, Mary, and Jerry—as they embark on an adventure to a county fair. Combining elements of youthful excitement and discovery, the narrative captures the joys and mishaps of childhood as the characters navigate through the day’s events. The story begins with the girls receiving an unexpected invitation from Uncle Billy for a motor trip that leads them to the fair. After a minor setback with their vehicle running out of gas, they are rescued by a kind farmer, allowing them to continue to the fair where they indulge in fun activities like riding the merry-go-round and participating in various games—such as attempting to catch greasy pigs and climbing greased poles. Amidst all the laughter, they also enjoy a balloon ride and share a delightful lunch, culminating in the surprise of winning a beautiful doll, which they name Elizabeth Geraldine. Throughout the day, the bond between the friends deepens as they celebrate their shared joys and reflect on the importance of camaraderie. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
