Some scenes from the State Fair

Here's this year's champion, 1,283 pounds of pumpkiny goodness.


A lot of coleslaw. We were told that they're expecting bigger ones Friday for the weigh-off.


A five-pound carrot? Why not.


The crafty folks

1. My dear Blue, what a cool fair!

Too bad you can't enter in your own contest. I think the rides picture makes great use of lines!

2. I was real happy with the way that one turned out.

When I took the shot, I didn't even notice the cool clouds.

3. I didn't notice them either, till you mentioned them!

And these were the pics you were asking me if I'd seen!

Well, now I have!

4. I love County or State Fairs...

... I used to enter my flowers and veggies in the horticultural exhibit and sure did win a bunch of ribbons. Had to quit a couple years ago. The reason I like it is because of belonging to 4H when I was a kid, I guess. Thanks for sharing the pics!

6. Well, you can make a pretty nice quilt when you're

cooped up inside your igloo seven months out of the year.
