    Our county fair starts today! The kids who live in that city all get the day off from school every year and it's half price for them. My son is taking his gf on Saturday and I made them promise to bring me back kettle corn and a cinnamon roll! I have to say I look forward to seeing Violet's smiling face in these videos! ❤

    My favorite part is the animals, the vegetables, the flowers, but it wouldn’t be a fair without all the wonderful food and crafts. Thank you for sharing this video. I think you did a good job showing us most of the fair. It looks like a large fair.

    We just got done with the Saginaw County Fair which I have been a board member for over 20 years. It was a big success. I am also superintendent of the antique department and we have a lot of antique exhibitors that come in just to show their beautiful things. Your Fair is also very nice. A family can spend a lot of money, if your not careful. I remember years ago as a young Farm girl my mom and dad bringing a picnic basket when we went to the fair and we stayed in the park and ate all the good food that my mother had packed for us fun times back in the 40s and 50s. They don’t do that so much today but how fun those years were we each got a caramel or candy apple and we got some cotton candy. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful Fair with all of us.

Flower and large vegetables, beauty and wow. Always need a little fair food. It’s a no to the rides. I enjoyed my time coming along with you all. Thank you

    When I went to our Exhibition, the equivalent of your fair, loved going to all the arts and crafts, flowers, cakes. Of course my kids got bored so I would bribe them with the promise of rides. What a great idea going without them wished I’d done that. My mum was a brilliant crafter, especially handmade quilts.

    I love a candy apple. Haven’t been to a state fair in 20 years I would guess. We went 40 years ago and our car was broken into. I guess that put a damper on us going for a while. I liked seeing the horses do there show. Tricks around an arena. Violet making those sounds with her mouth is the sweetest. I just crack up 😂

    I enjoyed every minute of the Fair. The quilts were absolutely beautiful, and the knitted cardigans were lovely. Actually I loved everything about it. There were so many foods I would have enjoyed, the Gyros would have been my choice with a Candy Apple for dessert. It has to be 50 years since I was at a fair, it brought back many wonderful memories from my childhood. Thank you for taking us along. 🌸
