Fair time in our township was last weekend. I returned from my trip to Ohio on Saturday, in time to experience some of it on the last day, Sunday.
Dan dropped me off and I toured the art exhibit at the Town Hall and then headed over to the snowmobilers stand to purchase a sausage grinder. I took that to the Rabbit and Chicken 4H tent where I met up with granddaughters and their parents.
Some photos from the day.

The Garden Club hosts the flower judging. This classroom was filled with flowers. I spent from 1:00 until 5:00 in this room selling raffle tickets for prizes the club collected.
I actually won one of those prizes: a $50 gift card to a local deli!
There was so much more to this major town event, too much to capture here. I'll try better next year.
The rural fall fairs do carry on.
ReplyDeleteMy, your fair is very different from ours! But then, I haven't been in years, so perhaps it has all these categories too. Ours is huge on the animals, and then there are the veggies and garden baskets, canned foods, and I think needlecrafts. I wonder what else they have these days?
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the winners in your family!
Great traditions live on.
