International Goat Days Festival: Day Three
The amazing thing about Goat Days was the incredible breadth of events. Goats were incorporated into every aspect of the festival, and for the people involved, there were goats in every corner of their lives. Goats were food, both meat and dairy. Goats were entertainment, in races, costumes and parades. They were judged on their adherence to their breed's ideals, in the meat and dairy goat shows, and on their deviance from it, in the largest goat contest. They were both serious and frivolous, spanning the spectrum from champion to clown.
