Off to the Fair

It's fair week.
Finally.
Would you like fascinating escapades from the county fair?
We did have a moment in the car yesterday.
We turned in the sewing projects & all of the other bazillion project exhibits.
An older girl that Lizzie will model against made an incredible Gone With the Wind dress. It's up on a pedestal in the fieldhouse. Truly incredible & she made a matching Barbie doll cake wearing the same dress (I'll try & sneak a picture tonight).
Anyways, Lizzie & I are in the car & I said, "Man, do you have to compete against her in that dress?"
Lizzie very seriously looks at me and says, "Mother, just because she has a cool dress doesn't mean she'll win modeling."
I love it when they give a "parent" answer! Made me crack a smile.
I'll eat a funnel cake for you, or a scone, or a big strawberry smoothie or kettle corn. Can't wait.

  2. Mmmm kettle corn! My neighbor owns a portable kettle corn company and sometimes in the morning our neighborhood smells like kettle corn. Yum! So much better than when the cow smell breezes in from over the hill! :)

    Good luck to Lizzie, we're rooting for you!

  4. Have fun at the Fair and good luck to your daughter. We have a lady who wins every year at our fair. She makes great clothes, but it does get old after a while.

  8. I love the fair and all the cute 4-h kids with the animals. We went to ours last week. I hope your funnel cakes aren't $8.50 like ours! Sheesh. I made some a few days ago. I could probably make 100 of them for the price I spent on one (I posted the recipe on my food blog, if you're inclined to have a Fair FHE or something. They're super easy)
    I hope everyone brings home a blue ribbon!

  9. Oooh, our fair starts this weekend so I take all my items in on Saturday! I love the whole day Saturday, I don't stick around for judging so I have this anticipation until I go back the next morning and see what won the blue ribbons! I love the fair in the quiet Sunday morning calm, when the only people there are the gospel singers setting up for church service and the livestock exhibitors feeding and watering. :)
