Blue Ribbons
We always know when it's time for the Ag Fair because the temperature gets about as hot as you think it can and then the fair starts. Every year I get in the mind set that I can handle the heat. I try and think of all the people that work on farms outside ALL day and certainly I can handle a couple hours lingering around the Ag Fair. Wrong. This heat was so hot it made it hard to even linger, in the shade, with ice water.
It helps that my mom is usually there with the Women's Farm Bureau group and Savannah is always interested in seeing what ribbons she earned on her entries. She brought home many blue ribbons but was most proud of the sweet pickles she made with her "Gram" (that's Christian's mom). Underneath this blue ribbon is a jar of pickles that she personally cut and seasoned according to Gram's directions; and one that won first place among all adult entries at the fair! Now I just need to have her teach me how to make pickles. :)
All in all, Savannah won a number of blue ribbons and red ones and white ones and green ones! She entered artwork, jewelry, flowers, and photos. She has such a creative/artistic ability with which she has been blessed. I hope I can keep up!
