Well I told you we were going to run off to the county fair on Saturday and we did. What I didn't know is that it had been 50 years since they last had a county fair, which I learned from my blogging buddy Anita over at Blue Country Magic. She's lived here almost forever so she knows almost everything about Botetourt, or at least I think so :)
Anyways, I was standing over at the bb shooting booth waiting with Braden and Dalton to get their turn and heard these two girls sweetly singing hymns. I took a picture because I liked the sound of them and little did I know I knew these 2 girls. Their dad walked over to say hi (one of Braden and Dalton's football coaches) and told me the girls were singing!
We had a great time at the fair. Saw friends, ate a pork chop sandwich, learned about bee keeping, sampled some yummy salsa, fed horses, watched another of the boys' coaches wrestle sheep to get them back on their truck, sampled wine from 2 wineries, listened to some wonderful entertainment and when it felt too hot a light sprinkle fell from the sky. It was a perfect afternoon and I really hope they hold it again next year!
Linking with Madge's Rurality Blog Hop as soon as the linky opens a little later!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope they do it again, too. Of course, Buchanan has its carnival every year, but that is different from a fair.
ReplyDeleteohhh i love, love, LOVE the fair! we like to go on the 4th and listen to music and watch fireworks. the kids find their friends, we give them some money and they run off and ride the rides..such a great event!
DeleteI saw a little bit about it on channel 10, it will probably get to be a big event as people need something like this to build community.
ReplyDeleteLooks like lots of fun!
ReplyDeletesounds like a sweet rural community fair!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely fair. Glad they brought it back and hope it won't be another 50 years before they have it again!

ReplyDeleteI love a good county fair. Sounds like you had lots to see and do.
ReplyDeleteOurs was in the hottest week we've had in July; but we managed with our granddaughters to enjoy it by cooling down with iced tea and snow cones. :)
And that's what it's all about♫ Thanks for sharing your day♥ My Rurality: http://lauriekazmierczak.com/midwest-mania/
