Brazoria County Fair...
The Brazoria County Fair is a big deal. The night before we went had been some kind of discount ticket night so I can only guess how long the lines were to get a ticket then because there were plenty of folks there to pay full price. With all the Four H type shows, rides, food and entertainment the whole county cancels school the entire week. We came to the fair see our grandchildren working food booths and winning prizes for art.
Coraline won Reserve Best of Class for an art creation called "Little Critters.
The model was in a glass display case which is where we all wish to end up but that's makes it had to get a good photo.
I did not tour the animal pens but the student art hall was impressive.
Tell that lady to back away from the turkey legs. Seemed that the national code of dress for the fair was cut off blue jeans and cowboy boots. I saw only women wearing this costume like a uniform of sorts and with a little advance notice I think I could have rocked a similar outfit as I have many pairs of boots and shorts in my closet but have never had the opportunity to put them together.
Warren and Tim were busy at the fair with the local scout troop manning the baked potato booth and delivering ice to the various food booths. The scout troop has Big Bend and Philmont trips planned next year and this is a way for them to cover that costs.
All in all a colorful fall evening.
Always happy faces when it's fair which you should teach your kids only comes in the fall.
