The Fair 2013: Part 2

Here we will visit the herbs, veggies, fruit and critters.

I *loved* how these herbs were displayed in this big enamelware pot, and was surprised that it only took second. 

Until I walked around and saw the other side. Garden gnomes? Really? Big ugly didn't fit in at ALL garden gnomes? WHY????

Sweetpea Currant Tomatoes, mine and I won 2nd thankyouverymuch.

Kind of hard to see, but these are sunflowers.

Good apple year! (and I wonder yet again: why the Disney theme? It's a *fair* for goodness sakes.)

My brother and sister raised pigs this year, and it wasn't until I loaded these pictures that I realized the pigs weren't even in them. oops.

They didn't place with the pigs (Well, Andrea took 3rd in their class) but they did win grand and reserve with their market ducks! And set a record for the grand champ duck sale price- bought by another brother. It helps having lot's of siblings.

Here are my children and the pigs. We had to visit them multiple times every day.

We liked them so much we bought one. Which seems to make my dad laugh and my sister scowl.

Said pig is residing in the freezer now.

Here they are. we bought the one on the left.

Nigerian dwarf goats. I think I need some. They are good milkers from what I hear.

My children were also mezmerized by the cows being milked.

Not our pig, but it made me chuckle.

Baby calf born at the fair- just a few hours old.

Miniature Herefords(?) Maybe we should get one of these...
