Among the good things about living in eastern Ontario are the country fairs this time of year. I usually visit at least one each year; I’ve been to Russell, Renfrew and this year I’m in Spencerville. As I roamed the vast fair grounds, I snapped a few photos of this spirited country event.

I was extraordinarily tempted by the candy apples, but the prospect of a $4k+ dental implant conviced me to opt for a banana split. Photo: C. Adam.
