Fair is over, memory lives on.................
As much as I like my bright quilts, this was one of my favorites at the fair. I wish I could have seen it opened up. I have always liked pieced quilts better than appliqued ones.
Here is the best over all table linen.

This is the building that houses all of the needlework and foods.

This water feature was in the booth of one of our popular area nurseries. I was surprised that people are still painting the saw blades.

This redwork was done by hand.

There were a couple wallhangings with a flag theme. You don't have to be afraid to use the restrooms at our fairgrounds. It has flush toilets with a crew in there cleaning the facility constantly. One last walk through the horticulture building. Gourds come in many sizes and shapes.
What says fall better than Indian corn?
I hope you have enjoyed the tour of the fair. If you ever get the chance you need to come to this one. It is always Wed. through Sun. following Labor Day and is the biggest and cleanest county fair in IL.
