DARLINGTON - The 33rd annual Lafayette County Dairy Breakfast was scheduled to be held rain or shine.
It lived up to it's billing as rain fell throughout the morning.
The breakfast and other events were held inside the highway shop, so everyone who attended was able to stay dry and have a good time.
Mike Wetter, who helped cook eggs, said the crowd was smaller when the breakfast started because of the rain, but as the rain let up more people came out for breakfast.
"We've got enough eggs for 3,000 people," Wetter said. "I'm not sure we're going to need them all but we have enough just in case."
The breakfast brings out people from across the county and from other cities. Hot scrambled eggs, sausages and milk are the staples.
Clarence and Mary Curtis, Dodgeville, attended the breakfast with their friends and also first-timers Clinton and Wanda McCutchin.
"We had a good breakfast," Clarence smiled.
Clinton McCutchin had heard about the breakfast and decided it was something to do on a Saturday morning. He decided to ask the Curtises if they wanted to go along.
"I figured if we invited them they would buy breakfast," Clinton joked.
They did, Mary replied.
It's also a good chance for children to see live animals, as children of all ages took time to look at the cows and other animals at the breakfast.
When people were done with breakfast and looking at the animals, they were able to eat some ice cream covered with strawberries for dessert.
People came to the breakfast to meet old friends or spend a few hours with their families. Others stood and talked or sat together to share a meal.
"People from the community and the county come to this every year," Tim Swigart said. He ate breakfast with his wife, Kathy and their two young children.
"It's a good way to catch up with people."
