A woman on stilts acted as if she were either a ghost or a statue. Whenever a child put a flower into the jar near her feet, the woman would slowly bow and blow a kiss.

Just Another Costume

./Oregon_Country_Fair_20160709_132416_C16_8181.jpg

As the fair continued through mid day, the presence of a costume became the accepted norm. So it became unremarkable for a large wolf to walk behind you.

Two more people waited a turn to be helped under low hanging trees. Clearly the taller of the two would have the greater problem.
