pictures from the fair...

 Josiah at the corn table...still mulling over how I can get a tub of this to play in at home!  We learned that our county is 89% farmland...some of the richest soil in the world.

 She is not technically picking it up, right?  Little chick asleep on her hand...

 Josiah's all time favorite ride.  He can't understand the concept of one day unlimited rides.  And yes, that is face paint.  He's one of the lucky ones; it causes no issues (for my FG friends.)

 We are just as proud of this placing as Rachel's red ribbon in cooking, because they both did it themselves!

 Waiting to see how she placed in dog care...everyone got blue ribbons.  The girl who never wants to dress up noticed last year that it pays to look your best when you're talking to a 4-H judge. 

 Dog costume was a lot of fun.  Here...the Coyote and the Road Runner.  We have never seen such cute dogs and owners.  (The dog just behind Rachel was in a "bubble bath.")

Micah comforting Brooklyn, who is not impressed with the fair.  We don't think they will add a category for "cat costume" anytime soon, although one did come adorned with a bow, and we saw a pretty snazzy leash.

Leah, you could glean after the harvest...we did that when I was little.

We have some friends who are farmers...I'll check and see what he says. Thanks for the idea!
