Virginia Show

These days I spend a lot of time in Northern Virginia - making me sadly familiar with Dulles Airport, Herndon, Reston, Tyson's Corner, and Arlington.

But, as a 6-year-old, I remember being taken by my grandparents to visit a different Virginia: the agricultural show at Virginia, County Cavan. I found it amazing - so much to see, stalls selling all sorts of things, so much hustle and bustle.

Bernd Biege has a slide show of photos from this year's Virginia Show here. Naturally, it doesn't seem as exciting as it did to me at 6 years old. But what great memories.
