State Fair is Now Over

We completed the State Fair.  Sharon worked 8 days and I worked 11 days.  We finished scheduling approx. 300 volunteers yesterday so now we're free to enjoy the area and visit with family and friends.

Kevin and Taylor came to the fair on Tuesday & Wednesday.  We were able to spend a couple of hours with them.  I'm not going to try and explain their practical joke on us.  But, let's say, it was good and we did fall for it.  Especially me.

Thought you might like to see a few of the pics that we took.  I promise not to bore you with the 100's but a few shots from around the fair.

Proof, we were at the fair.  This was a beautiful morning as you can see from the rainbow in the water fountains.




 
The fair wouldn't be complete without the butter carvings.  This year was Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs and, of course, the butter cow.

 
Watched an acrobatic show with Kevin & Taylor
 
 
 
 
On the last Saturday was able to watch my niece at a gymnastics competition.  She did pretty well for being in gymnastics for a couple of months and first big competition,
 
 
Last morning of the fair we walked around and took some final pictures.  Watched the chainsaw carver for a few minutes before climbing to Grandfather's Barn.
 

 
 
The last afternoon of the fair we spend tearing down/apart the volunteer information data to start getting ready for next year.
