Sheep Shots

The day dawned sunny and bright and I fear there was a lot going on in the area because it was freakin' empty when we got there.

We rushed across the grounds to the agricultural exhibits in the "Agri-Plex" ('cause we wanted to see what I won and how much so we'd know how much fudge to buy).

Let me just say right up front that my Knitted Child Mittens were nowhere to be found! MIA, if you will. We looked everywhere. ::sob:: I know that they will turn up. Who knows where they are right now! Anouk was hiding with the little girls' smocked stuff.




Entries were way down. The handmade knitted and crocheted stuff that filled several racks last year was all squashed onto 2 racks this year. I did not take pictures.

Instead, here's a pic of the Not So New Daughter In Law with the giant pumpkins (First prize=$5). How do you suppose they got them there??

I took first place with the felted wreath (they hung it upside down, for lord's sake), the toy rabbit, the snow pair (you were right, Wayne!), the baby sockies, the child's chullo, and Anouk!


That's one big pumpkin!





The Macungie Grange took a first place award for their display (Theme: "An Oldie But a Goodie") and won a whopping $500 in cash money!

But look at all they did to win that!

It's a great display of field, orchard, garden and home products.

Nicely done, Grangers!




There was lots to eat, so as soon as we checked out the handicrafts, we headed to a place where we could get hot food and have a place to sit.

Vince's it was. For cheese steak sandwiches.

I took second place for the gold heart blankie and the pink lace sweater and booties.

I got thirds (white ribbons) for my washcloth and the little snowman ornament.

There were a lot of people at the fair that might have chosen their apparel more carefully. But then, it's summer in the valley.

(There was a girl in a green plaid skirt with hair to match. I didn't dare take a picture!)

My Christmas stocking, Santa pouch, Santa ornament, the Organic gansey (gold), and the mohair shawl all took 4th place ribbons (yellow).

Total haul: $27. That's a lot of fudge!




So, we went in search of the fudge guy.

WTF!? No fudge guy!

So we went off to look at the animals.

Pigs stink. That's a fact, Jack!

Cows! This is a Grand Champion!








Sheeps.

Some were wearing their little hoodie outfits. These were naked.

The goats were out being judged or auctioned or something, so there were no goat pictures.












We seemed to be stalking this little cutie. She was cropped out of several pictures. (I could tell by her adorable shoes. Wanties!!)

She's poking the rabbits.


They didn't seem to mind.








Here's one now.

Wanties!!

(But can't have. Allergic.)

Twenty bucks! No fudge to buy. Rabbit instead??

No rabbit.

::insert frownie face::
