It's Fair time!

Fairs, whether county, regional or state, always provide a variety of photo opportunities. Whether it's curious animals, brightly-lit carnival rides, colorful food or grandstand events, you can't go wrong with your camera at a fair.

Here are some images from last week's Sioux Empire Fair in Sioux Falls.
