What fun to see these pictures. Sadly, here in the North they don't seem to have a tradition for showing fruits, vegetables and flowers. they don't know what they are missing.

This takes me right back to my childhood and the local agricultural fair! Glad to see this tradition carries on in your area!

i absolutely love state fairs and miss the one i grew up with in minnesota - love your shot of all the crafts ~

i was usually preoccupied with the food, tho - corn on the cob, fried green tomatoes, deep fried.....everything!

What lovely community spirit and how great to be able to grow healthy food. I tried pumpkins last year but no luck whatsoever x
