The Fair

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.

Lots of tractor activities.

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.
