County Fair Winners

We’ve taken Jameson and Charlotte to the fair over the last few years. It’s become a tradition. Since their parents have no interest in attending, we get the privilege of taking them to get a milkshake and see the photos I entered. (They only care about the pictures of them.) We were able to avoid the carnival until last year, so we just decided to surrender to the fact that we had to spend more time (and money) while we were there.

This year’s visit was miserable in the middle of the heatwave. We went as early as possible, but it was just way too hot to walk around and do much. There wasn’t air-conditioning in the exhibit buildings either, so we didn’t spend much time there. The kids went on a couple of rides (the only riders) and then agreed that going home was a good idea. I think we were there for 45 minutes in total. To make matters worse, most of the photos I entered didn’t win any prize, so the whole adventure was a bit of a bust. Since it won’t be long before the kids will be stuck down there in 4-H, maybe it’s time to retire the tradition.

So here are the winners from this year, which may very well be my last.
