Welcome to the Redwood County Fair bringing people together from all around the area for a fulfilled special day. In addition to all of the fantastic food (Candid Apples! Popcorn! Bread and Butter Pickles!) there are plenty of games and even some rides. There is even a Hot air balloon.  Among the crowds of fairgoers we're introduced to Patrick, a fellow resident of Walnut Grove,  who happens to have some feelings towards Mary. He's not the only one, Cass McCray, owner of the hot air balloon manages to try to persuade Mary to spend the entire day with him.   And speaking of the entire day, Caroline spends most of her time entering her wares into the competitions at the exhibit hall.  Charles is all over the place from the Wild Jackass riding contest to shopping for Bulls.  Laura is mesmerized by everything she sees and even manages to get a job (only for 30 minutes).  And Carrie....She's about to have one of the best moments of her young life.  Oh and there is a pesky Pickpocket who happens to have more screen time than necessary. Just one of those days at the fair.  How many times did Nellie Oleson end up in the dunk tank?  Why didn't we ever see Willie Oleson interact with the clowns?  Where do they store that state of the art modern fire engine and how far does it travel?
