The canned goods are my favorite exhibit.
A display of sweet embroidered linens. The sewing display in general was disappointing--mostly tie-dyed tees.
Complementary colors always work. Salsas and pepper sauces taken very seriously here. I saw men in business suits making cell phone calls to report on the judging of the hot canned items.
Style to spare.
A sweet-faced goat.
Empty is more interesting than full.
Concessions.
Richness.
Soft-faced rabbits.
Winners.
Daisy tries cotton candy.
Prizes.

Absolutely beautiful photographs, Anna! What a sweet, sunny day. :0) And those bunnies are too adorable!
ReplyDeleteI was just fine and dandy not missing our fair until you showed all these pictures! What fun!
ReplyDeleteCanning seems to be pretty serious at our fair too, though I haven't seen and dressed up, cell toting business men. Of the 12 canned items I entered, 9 placed!
I love those photographs!~!~!~!
ReplyDeleteYou're a fabulous photographer!!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are fantastic...as always...but wow, these capture the spirit of a county fair incredibly well!
ReplyDeleteI've been gone the past week on vacation and have missed checking your blog. It's fun to catch up! :)
love your photos .. i grew up in rural Illinois and they really took me back!
ReplyDeleteAnna,
ReplyDeleteEvery now and then, something you post resonates with me. I repeat it to myself often in hopes of overcoming obstacles.
Since I'm a natural clutterbug, I have to remind myself that "elegance is restraint," something I picked up from your blog.
Now I've got another one: Empty is more interesting than full.
Thank you,
Jora
