We used to do the 4-H fair with our girls when we home schooled. It is a county fair and they entered food, hand made paper, paintings, and all sorts of projects every year. I still have a box full of the ribbons they won in every color. They were so proud and so were Earl and I.

RE: My garden club flower show. All the animals and lots of blue ribbons. The food id a big draw as well. No rides though. Small town fun that we all enjoy. The State Fair is much like the one on your post though.

Love a good fair and a corn dog, followed up by a funnel cake. However, I would pass up the funnel cake for some good fried pies like my mama used to make. Yummy.

However, I love seing exhibits and the food! If he took me, id be so excited but it will be gone from town here in a couple days so its not likely. I guess we will stick to winerys and farms for fall.

I love the Fair, too. We always went to ...AWWWW! I love the Fair, too. We always went to the Mid-South Fair in Memphis (September, HOTTT), and it was a great madhouse of Midway and Rides and the scents of all those frying things, punctuated by burnt sugar from every fourth booth. I don't remember too much of the animal exhibits back then, for it was mostly when I was a teenager, and the sight-stroll of all the cheap chains and embroidered-with-your-name-while-you-wait hats (and once I went home with a dollar "chameleon" safety-pinned to my shirt by a string---he lived for a couple of years in a tiny aquarium with rocks and all the bugs he could eat.<br /><br />And now, we take a quick glimpse through the barns and stalls, marveling as much at the young folks camped out there in that fan-and-fume-filled area for weeks with their prize animals as we do at the baby piglets like the prediction of little pink sausages, or the golden-fleeced sheep and the perfection of PERCHERONS with their glossy manes and Roman-helmet hair. <br /><br />But I'm a Quilts-and Pickles girl, and take a couple of hours to myself after we make our way over to the big lawn by the Home Arts building with our dinners for a break in the shade. Just those stitches and great jars of wonderful things canned in Summer kitchens, the intricate doilies and quilts and exquisite stitchery on scarves and mats and whatever will they think of next---I marvel at those, and think that maybe now, this minute, a talented sempstress, with her house all in order and something good simmering on an immaculate stove, has sat down with her new project for Christmas, serenely stitching away on something so fine that my fingers would hesitate to touch, let alone attempt to make. See---that's what keeps me from trying---I can't get my surroundings into enough order to concentrate on the grand picture I'd want to create.<br /><br />Do they borrow those sea lions from SeaWorld or the Zoo?<br /><br />Bless your Young Heart for sharing all these wonderful doings!<br /><br />rRachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215717584988055006.post-77758089473284575712016-10-09T09:12:37.060-05:002016-10-09T09:12:37.060-05:00I know mine never had sea lions, that's really...I know mine never had sea lions, that's really neatAdamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051255914419363819noreply@blogger.com
