On top of being air conditioned, this hall was nice because it had stuff for little people to play with, and room for them to run around. While I was off quickly looking at all the quilts, homemade clothing, baked and canned goods, and the yarn crafst, the girls were able to run around and ride bikes, trykes, and big-wheels. It was good for them to be able to be entertained, while I was oggling and admiring the work and talking to other craftswomen.
Look at these cuties -- Amber is entertaining thoughts of being Cinderella and Elle just doesn't know what to think.
I think there were more quilts at this County Fair than there were at the quilt show I went to last October with Kelli. In relation to all of the other crafts in the hall, the quilting and sewing objects far outnumbered yarn craft. It's a regional/cultural thing -- like the canning displays.
Looking at some of the crochet objects that won ribbons, I feel like I could have had a good shot at placing in the crochet category. If I was up against experienced knitters? Not a chance. Plus, look at the lace work. You don't see that too often.
The crafting theme carried through the afternoon. Over in the food hall/entertainment space, they had covered 8-ft. tables with coloring areas. One minor problem? A standard 8-ft. table is just a TAD too high for 2 year olds. Poor Elle. she did her best though. You've never seen such colorful dinosaurs!
