EYEBROW — The little girl riding in the arena during the break in the horse show started circling with her chubby pony.
Around and around she and the horse went in circles
Someone standing outside the arena asked “Are you dizzy?’’
She nodded yes.
Another bystander held up three fingers and asked, “How many fingers do you see?’’
She ignored the question, stopped circling, walked the horse a few feet and began circling around and around again.
This was just one of the family fun moments at the 29th annual Eyebrow Fair.
The fair is an old-time country event with a large number of horse show classes, parade, slo-pitch ball tournament, bouncy castles, a large household arts competition, burger concession and home made pie booth.
The day leaves no one hungry starting with a pancake breakfast of two pancakes, two eggs, two slices of ham and bacon and a beverage — all for only $5.
The pancake breakfast price is kept low as a service to the community.
The day wound up with a chicken dinner, dance and fireworks.
All this was organized and attended by a community of 130 people and surrounding districts.
The fair was started by Wanda White and volunteers to give young riders an opportunity to practise showing horses in a less challenging environment than big cities.
