Ken and I went to Fryeburg Fair recently. This is one of Maine's bigger fairs, and it's always an interesting mixture of agriculture, entertainment, arts and crafts, and food.
Ken goes for the large farm equipment; I go for the needle crafts. We both go for the food.
Various grange chapters display excellent hand work.
This wall quilt received a blue ribbon, and it was made by my friend Carol. She is an excellent quilter and knitter. I wasn't surprised to see she'd won a blue ribbon.
The animals are always fun to check out. They remind me of going to Skowhegan State Fair when I was a kid.
The Fiber Barn at Fryeburg Fair is my main interest. This year it didn't seem to be quite as abuzz with activity as it has in past years. Still, I enjoyed ogling the yarns and knitted items.
I'm proud to say I managed to walk away without a single purchase. I have enough yarn in my stash to last this lifetime, if not another lifetime after this one.
So that was our day at the fair. That, and french fries and burgers for lunch.
how fun, I love fairs but seldom get to one...had to laugh at your header photo of the lamb who is real Mainer who loves to knit!
