The start of the county FAIR

I am off early to help with the county fair.

I will help in the fine arts division.

We have to tag, sort and hang the art.

The judging will take place this morning.

Two of my grandsons will be showing their art in the fair.

Can't wait to see their art.

Brandon got Grand Champion for both his

leather craft and his woodworking.

I look forward to seeing their 4-H projects today.

My husband, son and another grandson will

be roofing the new chicken house this morning.

The new chickens need to get in their new home soon.

A busy family

Last nights show was nice.

everyone like the fiber arts

and the pottery was popular.

Abbie's sky paintings were a hit.

Have a great week-end.

I forgot to mention it is a small fair.

I love giving my county something good to look at.

Plus it gets me some time with the red heads.

They get to camp out at the fair all week.

Saturday at close they were heading

back to the camper at 10 pm.

 The food strands gave them free food.

They did not want to throw it away.

Being 6 'plus they are always hungry.

Happy boys.
