This was a much calmer fair year, no horses, no cows, and no pigs to show.  We did however enter some of the garden bounty!

While I was very proud of my blue ribbon winners, I had a few disappointments too.  Only a red ribbon on my beautiful bell peppers.

My beautiful bell peppers

Spotty only got a red on his super large sunflower!  Very disappointing!  But it was missing a few seeds!  It also was way larger than any of the other entries!  We will get them next year!

Spotty’s giant sunflower

Spotty still had a lot of fun growing his giant sunflower.

We will always have sweet memories of the county fair!  Here is a throw back to JQ and BP  showing a their sweet cow, Charlie,  many years ago!
