Marina and Stella entered all the things they had made at our home this spring and summer in the county fair. They were very excited to go to the fair on opening day to see how they had done.
The Whidbey Island Fair has always been the third week of August and this year it was scheduled in July. We hadn’t known this and had planned our Mt. Baker trip with Jules, Jessica, Ian, and Adam for the same week as the fair.
Since we wouldn’t be going to the fair, Marina and Stella agreed to come over to our home when we got home and tell us all about the fair. They brought all their entries, ribbons, and awards.
The judges awarded Marina grand prize for her sewing project. The project was also voted by the fair goers, “Peoples Choice”. In addition to grand prize ribbons, she was given packages of fabrics by the local merchants.
Both girls got so many of the ribbons that Grandpa and I wondered if there were enough ribbons left over for the other kids.
I have been teaching them how to knit this summer, so they brought over their knitting.
