The PNE is smaller, both in scale and, because of Covid, attendance. I had not been since the mid-2010s but wanted to go this year, so it was made into a present. The animals were there. Not those raised by 4H Club members, as in the past, but by rental agreement. Free-standing pens of piglets, goats, chicks, Guinea Pigs, mini horses ... After that we watched the lumberjacks, no longer in the raked amphitheatre with forested mountains in the background, but around a one-stop midway box loaded with poles and a pool with a fake rolling log. The host is no longer a former logger, but a sassy sister type who, along with the mic'ed up participants, works from a script designed for children. I would say it is inclusive if it included any number of women out there who know how to operate a chainsaw.
