Animal fair (Dyregod)

in #animals9 years ago

As you know I am visiting my birth town Molde. This weekend a big fair is being held a 30 min drive from Molde.
Dyregod dagene/days are a large agricultural fair with demonstrations, animal exhibitions, market, entertainment and activities. The biggest in Central Norway. It's held in Batenfjordsøra, a small settlement whit 302 inhabitants.
