La Foire de la Croix (the country fair)

The country fair is where everybody brings their best cows from their farms in the mountains. The farmers try to sell their cows for the winter so they can have a home and they don't have anywhere to put them when it snows.  Each cow had a bell that represents their home farm so incase they get lost, someone can find their home. The winning cows got ribbons and they looked silly because some people tied it around their horns.  I would tie it on to the bell or one horn. There is a contest to see who makes the best Reblochon. Some people were selling their Reblochon which is the cheese that their cows produce.  Reblochon is strong sometimes and sometimes good.  But when it is extra stinky that means that it is really, really good.

Other animals that were there were ponies, horses and cows.
