The neighboring county had their annual summer fair, so of course Joe and I went. I love to seek out these small little fairs, and take pictures of interesting things.
The quilt display was very disappointing this year compared to last. I only saw about 30 quilts and none really stood out. In the Fine Art department, there was some wonderful examples of art. I was quite taken by a watercolor artist named Jeannie Vodden.
I also loved the Dahlia’s in the flower competition:
And taking a ‘Best of Show” in the Redneck Floral Competition:
Can you say, “This BUD’s for You!”
Seriously, I couldn’t make this stuff up, honest!
As we walked around, I couldn’t help but notice some art sprinkled around the fair grounds:
I want one of these for my yard, don’t you think?

I love to see the 4H section and the various animals. A cute kid let us pet and play with his 2 week old baby meat goat. I was surprised how soft the goat hair is at that age. I sure hope it has a long life as a free range goat and not later sold for food.
We enjoyed some music, watched a live wild west show, indulged in some chocolate dipped ice cream and had a good time. So what did YOU do this weekend? Hugs, Carla
I LOVE that bench….I cleaned and moved mostly…is that true? Yeah, mostly it is. Visited some friends too.
Oh, yeah, you’ve got to kidnap that funky rooster! Thanks for the trip to the fair!
u could easily with your talent build and paint that kind of bench with your birdies..get to it Carla! Add that to your list.
The rooster is great…and the “this bud’s for you” arrangement is too funny!
