Fair Fun

It’s time for the fair!

I have entered bread in the Los Angeles County Fair for the last two years. It was now time to try my hand at the Sonoma County Fair. This is a true fair. Sheep, cows, rides, fried food, pictures, and other homemade things. I entered sheepherder’s bread, and cornbread. I am happy to say that I got second with the bread and third with the cornbread. I did not think I would do well since it was my first time entering and I did not know how it all worked here. I am happy with my results and I am aiming for first place next year. I’m going to make garlic rosemary bread.

Darrick was very excited about me entering the fair. He really wished he could have been with me when I went to drop my entries off, but he had to work. He texted me the next day asking if I won anything. I informed him that I had to go to the fair to see how I did. Too cute. Of course we had to go the first day the fair opened, he was more excited than I was.

I just love the flowers they have.

Don't you just want to go out and buy some old rusty truck, and plant all around it? How cute is this? I loved it.

These people are so creative.










The sounds of giggles and screams carry across the park all the way out to the parking lot.

Could you believe I had the will power to keep walking and not Whac-A-Mole? It was hard, but I was just strong enough. hahahahahaaha
Heart attack on a plate.
Who does not love to go on a ride that spins you, flips you, or drops you after eating all that junk food? Good times right there.
I am pretty sure she was telling me," A little more to the left. Now higher...."
As you can see Darrick is one brave man. Flip Flops in a barn. Oh brother.
Father and son getting the youth cattle entry ready for his son's high school group. Super cool.
How amazing is this cows spot? It looks like an old sheriff's star. It was really pretty.

Awwwww the babies are so cute.


They had a fireworks show. It was so so.



I have hay on my face? Where? Did I get it? No? Did I get it now? Still no? How about now? Are you kidding me? ( I think this one is related to Darrick.)
This was some crazy bubble thing. They put you in a bubble and you do your best impersonation of a hamster. It was weird, but fun to watch. They were just floating around in that pool.

Well, don't have too much fun looking around. Gee. LOL


Don't worry, there is some more at home. You don't have to raid the glass case.
Yippie that's mine!

Wow, my cornbread won something as well. Lucky me.

Sonoma Farmers Market

Darrick is so sweet. He has been telling me about the Farmers Market in Sonoma, and has wanted me to go knowing I would really like it. We just have not been able to make it yet. So after a long hard day at work, and between me baking bread we went to check it out.

It was really cool. They have live bands playing, people selling all types of foods, farmers with their crops to sell, and families on blankets enjoy a picnic style night. The square in town is a buzz with people walking dogs and kids playing. What a wonderful family place. Teens were hanging out with friends, and adults were talking up a storm. You can hear the popping of the kettle corn as the smell of something grilling hangs heavy in the air. The bright colors of the flowers pop, and the sweet smell of peaches fill your senses as you walk by the farmers bins. The energy of the band playing goes hand in had with the kids playing on swings and other fun playground toys behind them. Dogs of all shapes and sizes accompany their owners that are also all different shapes and sizes. Laughter filled the air. You could hear many people calling out for their friends that they did not expect to see. It was a wonderful time. I really enjoyed it.

Got home just in time to take my bread out of the oven.
My new car.
Kidding. Darrick buys cars and sells them on the side. He asked if I wanted to keep it. I like it, it was fun to drive around in. He will keep it as long as he likes. Guess that's a perk to bloody knuckles, burnt arms, and hot motors.

" Hey, Fred, no one here is serving duck right? Fred? Jill, Sarah, have you seen Fred?"







Good man. Buying his honey some fruit.
