My wife and I have been entering home crafts in the Rockton Fair for years. I have won first with wood carving and bread on several occasions and Eva often wins a dozen or more ribbons in all sorts of classes, including bark carving one year.
This year I took firsts in chip carving and novice wood burning. I can't really brag, chip carving is a bit of a lost art at the fair just now, though some years there have been super complex pieces entered. The novice wood burning category wasn't loaded with competition either, but that is the luck of the draw, also next year I have to step up and play with the big boys and girls, it will be nice to come top three next year.
The Leamington Fair: Held the third weekend each June.. The Leamington Agricultural Society presents its annual fair. Tons of fun for the whole family. Contact: 519-326-8082 for more information. Leamington is the home town of thetoolstore.ca, it would be great to see local folks out and supporting their spring fair.
Fall means some serious yard work, so the spring will really sing. Take sometime over the next week or two to get that pruning done and the yard/leaves under control so that you don't start next year with muck and dead spots instead of grass.
Happy Thanksgiving and:
