Your fair sounds and looks great fun. I love the cows and chickens and pigs. And apple butter. I'm in full fall mode now, but it took me a while to realize that summer was over.

It was fabulous! I petted every one of the animals and looked at every display.

We spent the summer doing crafts to match up to nearly every category, as well as doing things like sewing, needlecraft and baking. I still have my rosette for my green tomatoes! You won money for placing 1st, 2nd or 3rd, and my brother and I would always clear about $10-15 each from our winnings.

It's a church and harvest fair but not as big as the Saltspring Fair. I used to love Raffi when my daughter was little.

My son entered a flower arrangement in a teacup in one of the children's categories. It's such fun, we look forward to it all year.seagreen readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110080707348277166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-31589134621670294502013-09-20T09:00:46.221-07:002013-09-20T09:00:46.221-07:00I always enjoy the SSI fair.

We missed the fair this year, sadly, but it was lovely to see it through your photos. Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.com
