Freddy Farm Bureau

Most anyone who has been to a Kentucky State Fair knows about Freddy... as in Freddy Farm Bureau. Freddy is the greeter for the fair and he sits on a bale of hay in front of Freedom Hall. You can't miss him - and if you get close enough - he'll talk to you.

Right after I took the picture that you see posted to the right and at the bottom of the blog, a few kids walked up to Freddy and he greeted them by asking if they had ever been on a farm. They said they hadn't and Freddy said, "Well where do you think your food comes from"? They didn't have a response to that question, but one kid did ask Freddy why he didn't stand up. Freddy moaned about this being his fiftieth birthday and he was just too tired to stand up. That's what I have always liked about Freddy, he answers honestly. By that time I was getting a little tired myself and with the temperature at around a hundred and five and the humidity off the charts, I could readily relate to Freddy's situation. Too bad he couldn't walk over to the air conditioned exhibits like I did. Hang in there Freddy, I'll see you again in a few years!
