Montgomery County Fair Entries Today!

Today and tomorrow we will be taking entries for the Home Arts Building at the Montgomery County Fair. Today the time is 4 to 8 PM, senior citizens can start coming at 2 PM. Tomorrow the time is 2 to 8 PM for everyone. Should you have any questions about any step in this process, please contact me at BonnieBay@me.com.  

This is one of my favorite times of the year to see what everyone has been crocheting, knitting, quilting, sewing, latching & baking this year.  I personally don't know of any other organization who supports and encourages the home arts in our culture more these days than the county fair.  If you have never volunteered at one, you are really missing out!  Sure, the pay isn't much (or rather, non-existent), but the intangibles are sweet.  Some of the nicest and encouraging people you will ever meet volunteer at our fair.  It is not too late to get on board for this year.  If you want to get involved, let me know!

If you get a chance to stop by the home arts building during the fair, take some time to check out the decorated cakes.  My kitchen officially has an additional layer of sugar just about everywhere from our cake decorating experience yesterday!  About 10 of the cakes that you'll see in the display cabinet came out of our kitchen - all original creations decorated by children and teens.  Be on the lookout for a Micheal Phelps Bear, a world map, a doll, Tweety Bird, a lamb and a Hobbit hole just to name a few!
