the county fair
The week of the county fair was a whildwhind of last minute sewing, mounting photographs, trips to the fairgrounds and lots of prep for our fair entires. The girls entered art work, baked goods, etc. in the 4H division and they pursuaded me to enter my knitted animals in the adult division. My favorite part of fair week was watching the girls perform in the performing arts division (Annah sang the Shirley Temple song, "An Old Straw Hat" and Mira played a piece on the piano) and watching them do the fashion runway show. Mira won a reserve champion ribbon for her whole wheat graham crackers, Annah won lots of rainbow ribbons (the littlest 4H'ers can't win prize ribbons) and my knitted lamb even won the grand champion ribbon in it's division. I think the highlight for the girls was the bubble "ride" that aunt Leyah took them on. West and his friend Issac had fun watching it. The top photo is Mira and her friend Abby Sue with their performing arts ribbons.
