Our family loves going to the fair! We like to see the animals, watch the judging shows, eat ice cream and ride the rides. The Winneshiek County fair is small and simple, but still very entertaining and fun. This year, the girls and I decided to enter a few things in the flowers and vegetables division. We had a great time putting together our flower arrangements and picking just the right snap peas to present. And, we all won ribbons, too!

Sylvia’s award winning bouquet of all pink flowers (the category was In the Pink).

Lily loved the donkey at the petting zoo!

Sylvia loved the calf at the petting zoo (and so did I! Along with the adorable pot bellied pigs).

My award winning butterfly milkweed. It’s one of my favorite flowers – I love the orange!
