The County Fair

We finally made it to the Columbia County Fair this weekend. Thomas and I asked our friends Adrienne Rogers and Ray Charles White to join us which made it even more fun. What an adventure it was. I am still not sure that I understand the point of the Monster Tractor Pull, however the chickens were so beautiful. there were some outstanding crafts people giving demonstrations and selling their wares. Of course I couldn’t say no to a couple of the rides. It was really a fun afternoon and I can’t wait to go back next year.


How great to have a few chickens of ones own? Oh and things one could make with all those eggs....
Isn't he a proud one?


There was an amazing engraver Sandy Connors who does 19th century engraving and printing. These little seed packs would make a great hostess gift.

Master wooden worker Boyd Hutchinson makes beautiful Shaker style furniture.

Love your banner! My Dad kept chickens {and a rooster} when I was a teen {we had moved from Brooklyn to Long Island and all this space was heaven to him} and I hated having to go into the little coop he built to get the eggs. The smell was a bit much for me!

Thanks Patricia did it. The smell of chickens, hummm hadn't thought of that. Think I will stick with going to the organic farm stand. Thanks for mentioning that.

I always loved County Fairs as a child and seeing the prize pig, sheep, and the pies....
A trip to Shaker Town is always on my list when I travel to KY - there is something so aesthetically pleasing about the simplicity of the life they designed.
If you have not been, I would suggest a trip for design inspiration. T'is the gift to be simple....t'is the gift to be true.

Wow, look at your spiffy new swell header ~Mr.Devine Town & Country!! Thanks so much!

Fabulous banner-isn't PvE the very best? Love seeing the chickens at a county fair-but that's as far as it goes for me.

A wonderfully handsome banner. I am fortunate to own one too! :)

The Devine Life said...

Yes, the tractor pull-- so strange- like what's the point. And so loud.

The banner is great--It was hard to choose which one of the designs to use. She is so talented.
