I just love our local Farm Show...and that it is still all about farming.
I appreciate that each food stand sells a different thing, and that they and the carnival rides haven't taken over the feel of the place.
I enjoy being able to pick out familiar faces in the crowded streets, though it's been 16 years.
I take delight in the friendly but competitive fine arts contest...clearly I need to kick it into high gear though. My high school rival bested me!
This was the first time I entered something in 16 years...you'd think he'd show some mercy. :-)

This year, since Natalia had school, Adam and I met up with Melanie and her two youngest to enjoy a morning at the Farm Show. Melanie and I became friends way back in the first grade and it was a treat to spend time with her again.
A favorite every year is this table of corn and tractor toys.
And of course there are lots of real tractors and things to climb on...till Mommy noticed the new sign that was up this year. :-(

The lawnmowers didn't have a sign on them. Yay!

I'd say that's pretty darn good! :)
I saw your masterpiece in person and I think it was good enough to win first place! Great job!
