Amid all the poultry, rabbit, sheep, goat and lamb exhibits, tucked away from the preserves, flower arrangements and quilts, I discovered this prime specimen of geekitude at the Pender Island Fall Fair (a misnomer since it occurs nowhere near the equinox).
My favourite part of the fair is watching the kids use a real fire hose set up by the volunteer fire department to put out a fake fire. Too bad I'm too old. The blackberries we picked at the side of the road were yummy too.
