The County Fair

I did something I have never done before. I entered 4 of my pictures in the county fair. I don't why, it seemed like something fun to do. Anyway, last night we went to the fair to check the results. Wow! I was really surprised. I entered my pictures in the adult amateur division. I entered a picture that Becky took of me in my boat, and it took first place in it's division. I entered 3 others in my name, in landscape, candid, and wildlife division. I was awarded one second place in landscape, first place in candid, and grand champion in wildlife. The pictures will remain on display the rest of the week. I know it sounds like I am bragging, but hey it's kind of neat to see what others think of my photography skills.

Naturally, no fair is complete without a funnel cake and coke. So Becky, and I split one, and spent the rest of evening wandering around looking at the other exhibits. getting free samples, pens, buttons, and calendars, etc. I couldn't get her on the ferris wheel, oh well.

I think it's neat! Our county quit having a fair because of lack of interest, which I think is sad. We're a rural county and evry rural county SHOULD have a fair!
Glad yours does!
Becky, what's with not going on the ferris wheel??????

Thanks for the info. I made a copy for Becky. I worked with him for 5 years. We have many fond memories of that place.
