| Canfield Fair - Largest Squash "Only" 891 Lbs - Under Drought Conditions! |
Wild Rose Farm was off to the Canfield Fair Saturday morning ....... it's an annual tradition and we go in the morning to beat the heat. As large as this fair is, we actually manage to run into people we know every year. This year it was a couple of friends who are normally vendors at the Sewickley Farmers' Market on Saturday mornings. Even farmers need to get out sometimes!
The drought this summer did a number on the squash competition for the year. Usually 891 lbs won't even get you into the building for 2nd place! We don't usually study the other "largest" fruit & veggie section, but here they are ........

One of the things apparently unaffected by the weather was the "Tallest Sunflower" category. This was more of a Jack & The Beanstalk story! All of the other sunflowers lined the side of the building where they lean against the wall with their heads in the rafters. This is the 1st time we've seen one in the middle of the building supported by 2 x 4's! How do you haul this to the fairgrounds?!? I suspect it was tied to the 2x4 and came in on a trailer ....... :)
