I was totally surprised to see that I had gotten a First Place with this photo in the category of "color: children/babies"...
And a Third Place in the category of "black/white: other." I was pretty excited!
And the kids did well too, especially J.T. For this watercolor painting of a (what else is there?) John Deere tractor he received a First Place ribbon and a Special Award. This award was donated by the local Farm Bureau chapter in the amount of $50! It will be a great addition to his college fund!
Abigail got a First Place on this watercolor...
After checking out our entries we let the kids go on a couple of the rides. I can't believe how expensive it's gotten. The kids each picked three rides and it was $20! The "pay one price" wristbands that used to be $6 or $8 when I was a kid, are now $25!
I probably won't make it back to the fair, but at least we can say we made it for one afternoon....

i love the second picture, and i like the conversion!
that water color is spectacular! You should have that framed. And I know what you mean about the rides and everything at the fair costing so much. We gave up on going to the state fair and now we just go to the local county fair. Which is much cheaper.
Congratulations! Very cool.
Congratulations! My favorite is your B&W ! Nice job.

Nice photo!! Your family is very talented.
Beautiful pictures. Congrats on your awards. Kids artwork is great too. Looks like yall had a fun day.
Hello there! I really love the coloring to that first shot, so vibrant and true. Looks like you had a great time.
Congratulations on the ribbons!
Fair prices are so expensive! We go the the other county's fair- which is a shorter distance from us than our own county's. It's also free to get in. Our county fair charges for day passes on top of everything you pay once you actually get inside. :P
My kids only went on one ride last year. So expensive!
I love the second picture...should have been a blue ribbon! I found your site through the peas and I really like it. I love the post on Bill Gates. I will be back!
your black and white photo is just beautiful! I will have to use your idea for some photos of my girls and their horses.
Love the fair post. We are getting excited about ours too.
