2010 Houston County Fair

The Houston County Fair went over well this year.  This year a Jr. Fair Board formed and were a tremendous help in all aspects of the event.  Even so it was an exhausting three days.  Lots of work goes on before and after the event.

Some of the movers and shakers of the Fair.

One of the first things they helped with was painting the creepy green bathroom.  Now, it's a fresh clean white.

Manpower was another great resource from the Jr. Board.

Hannah received a Blue Ribbon for her quilt.  I was so proud! It was a quilt we had worked on together.  She has a great eye for color.

I got lucky and placed second with my knitted hat, and yes there were more than two entries.

Mims & Paxton walked the 5K.  I was so proud of both of them.  Paxton was smiling as she came across the finish line & was cheered on by the crowd waiting at the finish.  She also received a big hug from her friend Zach at the finish.  They both finished second in their age bracket.  The 5K was a new under taking for the Fair and was held under my chairmanship.  I have never attended a run, much less organized one before.  I had some great support help and we had a very successful race with 50 runners.  I was very excited.

Now to clean up - put up and move on to our next adventure!
