To the left, a leather belt and hat vendor. They approached the ag building where the swine show was about to get under way. Just beyond that, meats on grills sizzled. And then along came Alford E.

Who could blame them when they spotted a furry reptile wearing a straw hat behind the wheel of a golf-cart-sized truck with a bamboo and straw roof?
