Kentucky State Fair 2008

WE'VE GOT HAIR!!


Jennifer was having a good day today.  She actually wanted to go the State Fair.  Nothing heals like corn dogs, lemonade and a good jug band.  This is the Juggernaut Jug Band. I think the junk food and sunshine did her good.  The weather here is the mildest I can remember for August.  Last year was the hottest on record, this year it was pretty cool.  So I sucked up the worrying and we had a very nice time.  My quilt group will tell you I've got my set route I like to walk at the fair, into the Agriculture wing and look at the exhibits, of course the quilt and finally swing through the myriad fair flea market finds with a load of fudge and nuts to take home.  This day we only skimmed the surface, but, I got to see some things I hadn't really paid that much attention to before, because it been too hot to spend any time outdoors.  I've seen the rose garden before but, today I spent some time there.  .  Here are some of the lovely roses from the Louisville Rose society.  There is a new wing to the fairgrounds, in which they house the horses.

Jennifer like the cakes.Here's 
 great pumpkin cake for all you pumpkin block of the month gals.
