Teton Fair Results

We made a trip to the Exhibit Hall at the Teton County Fair pretty early to discover the judging results. My entry - Indian Maiden - won the Best in Division title to maintain my streak of 4 years winning that title. I did not, however, win Best in Show this year as somebody beat me out of that title with a pillow, of all things, that was beautifully sewn. This is the shot of my entry:


We went from the Fair to The Lift restaurant to make a reservation for dinner with our friends and then went to Smith's for some groceries.

Our dinner with Ed and Eileen was scheduled at 5 PM and they came to pick us up at 4 PM. We parked at The Lift and walked two blocks to the Exhibit Hall at the Fair again as they wanted to see my entry and how it fared in the judging.

Our dinner was excellent, and we drove around the area surrounding our campground looking for some Bison. We found a herd, but it was off in the distance. Overall, it was a fun day. Oh, I also dropped off my hearing aid to be sent off to the factory and the Audiologist said that the "rush" notice that they will place on the device should ensure that I get it back in about one week. I sure hope so...

Early Fair

We received the brochure for this year's Teton County Fair which is being held very early this year - July 22-31. In the five years that we have been coming here, I can't remember any year that the Fair was held in July. I have an entry for the needlework competition, but it is one of the pieces I did several years ago. It will be due for the show on July 26, between 11 AM and 6 PM. I will have to make some arrangement at work to get the time off to submit the entry as our schedule doesn't leave any time to do these things during the day. I will work it out.

There was another gathering over the campfire last night at the same couples' site (Bill & Mary) that held the first one. We didn't go as we didn't get off work until 7:15 and went into town to get some items at the store. As we stopped and had a burger at DQ for dinner, we didn't get home until after 9 PM - too late to go anywhere. We'll go to the next one.

There is one day down and 4 to go before our three day weekend. I know we can make it...
