The California State Fair ended its 2019 run last Sunday. It was my third and final day partaking in the California Authors Booth. The temperature gauge crept up each day that I was there. By the time Sunday rolled around, we were looking at the hottest day on record in Sacramento for the year.
I heard about a new exhibit called Goat Mountain. I imagined the show those kids (the name used for a baby goat under six months of age) would give their audience—springing, head butting, high kicking, uphill sprinting—and I just had to see it!
My first chance to drop by Goat Mountain happened on day two. It was about 1 pm and by then, the poor little kids were laying on the shaded ground at the foot of their mountain under the large canvas tent which covered the area. Square box fans were operating at high speed to help comfort the little ones.
