The County Fair

           In the Fall, the County Fair comes to town. 

With it comes, games and rides, cotton candy and funnel cakes. 

There are entries of canned goods, cakes, pies, quilts, paintings and drawings sitting in sweltering tents 

                          and a lot more!

Women wander into the tents checking to see if their canned beans or apple cake or their granddaughter's painting has a blue ribbon. 

In another tent is the livestock - hogs rooting around in the scattered hay, calves wondering where their mommies are, chicken in cages. It smells like Grandpa's farm yard and sawdust and fun.  Grandpa finds that his sow has won first place.

I haven't been to a fair in several years. The last one I went to I rode in the Monster Truck and I rode the ferris wheel and bumper cars. 

This year it was my daughter and granddaughter carrying on the tradition. 

My Daughter's Pecan Coffee Cake won a blue ribbon.

Granddaughter won blue ribbons with her Jalepeno Pepper Jelly and Fig Preserves

Instead of riding a Monster Truck, my daughter Shirley, rode a camel.

I'd have like to have ridden a camel!

Maybe next time.
