Farmers Fair Weekend

Farmers Fair is a big deal here in Dillsburg. It begins the third weekend in October and ends Saturday after the "Big" Parade. It is a big parade because Friday is the Baby Parade. The baby parade is a shorter walk and all the children can dress up or pull floats and be the stars that night. I didn't go into the parades (I was too lazy), but K and I did go in Saturday to walk around and check out the second hand shops which are usually closed by the time

I get home from work.

We started at the craft fair. Mostly to get ideas for our own projects.  I can't really afford most of what they

were selling there. 

We moved onto the cars and tractors. They do a parade with them in the afternoon, but after looking at 50 tractors puttering by, it gets pretty boring.

The handsome guy in the uniform is my hubby.

 

After that we moved to the Dills Tavern for some local History. I think they had every war covered.

Oh and can't forget the Fair Entries. I've entered many years and every one in my family had won a few ribbons for something or another.

The sewing details on the dress were beautiful. It won first place and should have.

I wore my hounds tooth cape that I inherited from my my Mother in Law. She made it herself. I have pictures of her wearing it in Jerusalem.

Larry has worked almost every Farmers Fair since

we've been married.

I did purchase a new hat for 25 cents. The hideous silk flowers are already in the trash and I will have it looking glorious in no time.

The adult prom is this weekend and I cannot decide what dress to wear. Silver sparkles or Hot Pink.
