HANCOCK -- Our first excursion in the community this Fall 2008 semester was a trip to the Houghton County Fair. Here are some photo memories ...

A highlight of the visit to the Fair was having a photo taken with Amber, the Queen of the Fair.

State Representative Mike Lahti, who purchased a prize lamb during the 4-H livestock auction at the fair, poses with Finlandia students Kazuki, Kumiko and Nick.




This rooster attracted everyone's attention with his noise ...

... while this pair of prize winners had a great siesta during the Fair!

More horses ...

and Raisin, the photogenic cow.

Tempting pizza!


That Super Slide looks like fun ...

Nick, why don't you try it?
