We headed back to the farm the week of the Gage County fair. Similar to when I was younger, the week before the fair is filled with last minute projects. Each of the kids entered something they cooked. Micah choose banana muffins (the only fruit he'll eat) and Victoria chocolate chip cookies.
Izzy and I worked on a crafter's apron. She picked out all these fabrics by herself. We went through 2 sewing machines which made the experience not as fun as it should. I caved and bought myself a new Bernina... which I LOVE. Izzy did as well and finished this up super quite. It certainly helps to have the right equipment for the job.
This year Izzy was old enough to joing 4-H. As we do not live in Gage County, she was able to be an independent 4-Her. Her first experience was a table setting contest. Izzy had to decide on the décor and choose a menu to accompany the theme.
Izzy was tickled pink that many of her project received purple ribbons including her apron! The judges loved her fabric combinations as well.
Micah & Victoria entered projects in Open Class as they are not old enough to be in 4-H (yet). The Wonder Woman and Batman logos out of legos were one of our favorites.
Much to everyone's surprise, Micah won champion in his division for his banana muffins!
Oma let us pick through her flowers on the farm to enter as well.
The fair would not be the fair without games and rides in the midway.
Izzy was talking about the hang-glider ride ever before we made it to the fair. Next year its Opa's turn to ride with her.
