| Feeding Time At The 2013 Hookstown Fair! |
Don't we all feel this way on the first day of the fair, wide-eyed & eager like the sheep above? Excited and happy to be out & about checking the exhibits, the animals, and visiting with all of our friends? The
Hookstown Fair enjoyed fine weather for fair week ..... not too hot, just a bit of rain late one night, and cool enough temperatures that the animals were comfortable.

| Exhibits For The Fiber Folks & A Backstory ..... |
Here was a bit of serendipity in the fiber arts exhibits ..... right next to each other, entries from 2 people who have been Wild Rose Farm customers! Norma & her husband bought a WRF ram years ago, and Maria came with her mother to buy yarn and combed top as a young person just learning to knit & spin. Both of them are quite prolific with their entries and I was pleasantly surprised to see these 2 blue ribbons side by side.

| Fair Week .... It's Finally Over .... Whew! |
We get a "season pass", so we're at the fair for all 5 nights watching the 4H livestock shows, checking all of the exhibits, visiting the Southside Historical Village, and bidding at the 4H livestock auction to support the kids and fill the freezer. By the end of fair season in a few weeks, we'll be "
all faired out", just like the piggy sleeping it off above!
Hope you get to enjoy your local fair, even for a day!
