Wednesday is the start of our last week of the 2012 Fair. This month just flew by; it seems like only yesterday that we were opening the gates, setting up the rides and exhibits and starting on the blogging for the season. Whether you are visiting us for the first time or one last time…
Trapeze Time at the Fair
The most delicious food competition yet
Today’s food competition was all about the chocolate: Chocolate chip cookies and brownies, that is.
