Our First Fair Entries

Ok, before you take a peak, I have to say I know our fair display was really lame. I've been to the fair before and know all the work these 4H groups put into their displays. In our defense, I will explain that due to employee turnover in our Co-op office, our paper work was delayed and we were not a group until March. So we worked our little tails off to get our pillows and quilts finished and we barely got that done! We could not even think of a fair banner, although we do have a cool idea that we will start on this fall.



That being said here are some pictures from our display.

In this picture, if you look hard enough, you can see the cardboard sign the girls and g-man made and signed!!


Our pillows were all the same, except for G-man's, because I gave them the fabric so we could hurry up and sew our first project.

The judges were mighty generous with the blue ribbons for the displays!!! Everyone got one!

We had such a good time and are all looking forward to our first full year coming up! I know they got a lot of ideas from other groups, so they'll keep me on our toes!

Congratulations on the blue ribbons. Everything in the pictures were very nice. We didn't have many to enter things this year at our fair. Don't really know what the problem was. Hope you and yours have a blessed day.

Excellent, Bonnie. Congradulations all around to your group. I know the first year is really a learning time. I remember my girls brought home so many ideas from fair the first year too. MB

Okay, I love that we've gotten to share the process with you, from fabric selection to the fair. I think I would've really enjoyed 4H as a kid. I love small town fairs, too. Thanks for sharing.

And another thing...It's nice to see that instead of doing a fair booth set up for the kids, you let it be their hard work. You don't see a lot of that these days...letting kids do the work. :)

Been busy around here.
