For the first time ever I entered some things in the fair. For those fair veterans out there, please don't laugh. I entered 3 things: duck eggs, chicken eggs and a jar of zucchini relish that I told you about here. And guess what?? This first timer didn't do to shabby! I got blue ribbons for both sets of eggs and a red ribbon for my zucchini relish. Wowza! I could barely contain myself when I saw the ribbons! There I was, a grown woman, acting very similar to a four year old with a new barbie. But I didn't care - I was wrapped up in the moment. I just about squeezed all the air out of Jerry, did some serious jumping and high-fiving and talked about the fair non-stop for the next four days! (Jerry is really hoping that once I get this posted I will move on to something else - little does he know my plans are on to what I am going to enter next year!)
There is nothing quite like a true county fair. And when I say true - I mean a fair that is not all about rides and booths and carnival crap. It is about the animals and the cooking and the crafts! I am so lucky to live in a county that has a fabulous fair. County fairs offer all American fun and that, my friends, is a beautiful thing.
