It's Fair Time!

It's fair time in my small town. A lovely time to grab a bite, and see what my community is up to. Isn't it amazing how many people actually wear Wranglers? I mean, real people- not just people in truck commercials.

After a nibble on some yummy treats I head over to the arts, crafts and sewing exhibits. My favorite this year is Mr. Pumpkin. A pumpkin headed man entirely knitted. He's sitting down in a case, but I bet he's almost 3 or 4 feet tall. Mr. Pumpkin is wearing a really great suit and holds a lantern. Hats off to the creative mind who brought him to life. The glass case he's in is very dusty, so apologies on a shabby photo.

Next up: Vegetable Critters. I always knew I loved my veg, but who knew they had such personality? These guys are submitted by grade school kids. I absolutely adored them.

If your community has a fair coming up I hope you can make it. What a fun way to be exposed to things we don't often see in our busy, modern world.

Enjoy your day!
