7th August Donner Pass and Nevada County Fair

Donner Memorial Park - a grim tale of a migrant trek to California at the museum, then the scenic route to the pass.

Spent the after noon at the Nevada County Fair - cows sheep, goats, horses, chickens, rabbits, dancing displays and then the rodeo: children riding bucking sheep, men riding bucking bulls & bucking horses. The finale - two motorcyclists doing aerial stunts.







Beautiful shire horses in a skilled demonstration

Parachutist flying the flag opens the rodeo show
Yes - this is a small child hanging onto a sheep as it runs across the arena. If only I could have captured the look of amazed horror on Rowena & Clara's faces...
