FAIR

This week has been our county fair and since Ems is in 4-H we've been working hard on last minute fair projects! Nothing like teaching my 10 year old how to procrastinate! Ha! We really had worked on and started them all ahead of time, we just left parts for the end! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Here she is with her firestarters and wooden shelves. She also made a rhubarb layered dessert.
Here's our Outstanding Junior!!!!! Her project Origami Bunnies would have gone to State Fair if she were old enough!! Today she is doing a working exhibit on them!! Go Emily!!
These next two are of Emily getting judged. She's seems very calm with talking to judges, etc. I'm glad she's not nervous!

This pic should have been first! Oh well. Here she is getting ready to approach the judges. We are very proud of her!!

I told Emily if she did her projects, that I would enter open class too. So I rushed around the last day and got some pictures backed and matted. I got some ribbons too. Fun!

The humidity has been hard on all the projects, but that is fair time, I guess!!

Hope you all are having fun this summer!

we went to the fair last night...and checked out all of Emily's projects...and yours as well.
I was super impressed...with both -
I didn't think the humidity damage was too bad on the pictures themselves...made them look a little funky.
Way to go for both of you!!
