Today Daddy Cat and I walked down to the fair with Maureen Cat and Tom Cat (yes, that's his name), to see all the exhibits. Well, we were pleasantly surprised when we walked over to the Needle Craft department, and saw what Momma Cat won!
First we saw that Momma had won two First Premium blue ribbons and two Best Of Show rosettes for her foal, and her bag with all the accessories!
Then we walked around the other side and saw that Vanilla Cat won a First Premium blue ribbon too! Boy, was Momma Cat happy!!!
There were a lot of really nice things in the exhibit hall! If you haven't been to the Fair in a while, you should go. There's needle craft, photography, painting, plants, vegetables, food, youth exhibit, and other interesting things.
Besides the exhibits, there are the rides, and the animals, of course. Then, there are many little booths with good things to eat and drink. Last, but not least, were the Alaskan Pig Races! We got to see little porkers running and jumping over hurdles! If that's not entertainment, then I don't know what is!
The atmosphere there is a little old-fashioned, but it's still a lot of fun, and a great way to spend some time with family and friends! Also, there are picnic areas so you can bring and prepare your own food, if that appeals to you, and don't forget to ride the sweet little train that circles around the fair grounds!
Now, Momma Cat has to go home and watch "Picnic" (even though the movie is set on Labor Day). It happens to her every time she goes to the fair!
Happy Memorial Day!

Huge congratulations, Momma Cat! It sounds like you won every blue ribbon possible! Great job--woohoo! xo Jennifer
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer! I was pleasantly surprised. There was even some prize money involved too. Now I have to come up with some new ideas for next year!

Way to go, Momma Cat! Your blue-ribbon entries are even more gorgeous "in-person" at the fair than in your photos. Congratulations on your well-deserved wins!
ReplyDeleteMaureen,
DeleteThank you so much for your support, and for picking up my things when the fair was over. I don't know what I'd do without you!

Congratulations! I'm glad you did so well at the fair, you totally deserve it! I wish I could be there this year.
ReplyDeleteAssunta,
DeleteYou don't know how much I wish you were here too! The ladies at the fair asked about you too!
I'm glad you think I deserved my prizes. I got $50, and a $25 gift certificate to A Common Thread to go with my ribbons. I wish you could be here to go with me to look at this store. Hey, maybe when you come for your visit???
