"It's Only a County Fair, Mom!"

I know that it's only a county fair, in the immortal words of The Teen, but hey, I won! Sure there were only a few entered in knitting, and around 15 in all of needlecrafts, but Best in Show is still Best in Show!!!!Mr. Fix-it is so proud of me! I did the Snoopy Happy Dance upon finding out the results--my first time entering my work in anything! Lots of compliments from the ladies keeping watch over the entries. Thanks so much to everyone who encouraged me to enter my shawl! It was a great experience. The Teen wants me to enter something in the state fair, and I'm considering it, but it for sure won't be my Sampler Shawl. Not after seeing knitted items which have won in the past.
It was blistering hot while we were at the fair, so we spent a good part of the afternoon sitting on the creek enjoying the breeze. Mr. Fix-it and Tiny Terror enjoyed looking at the boats. While I got some amazing shots of the sky. (How appropriate, since Saturday Sky started today.) The Teen and I enjoyed some cotton candy, because a fair just wouldn't be complete without cotton candy, while visiting the educational booths and tents that various businesses had set up. A good time was had by all, despite the heat of the day!
