The Fair
Fair Was Awesome!
It was the best Fair I’ve experienced so far (as an exhibitor in the Animals of the World Barn, not to include the State Fairs as a parent), in spite of coming down with whatever this sore throat, drippy nose, heavy chest thing is. The Fair Began Early for VF&G Usually Bet and I … Continue reading
Home From the Fair
Five years ago Vicktory Farm & Gardens was invited to supply a display of turkeys for the Puyallup Fair’s Animals of the World barn on its last five days. The Puyallup Fair, officially the Western Washington Fair, is the single largest annual event in Washington state and one of the top ten fairs world wide! … Continue reading
Big Bird Goes to the Fair
Tom, FishingGuy Tom, chose “Big Bird” for this week’s Header Challenge theme. So I thought I would oblige him with a straight up photo! No shenanigans, just a big bird from the Farm. Speaking of shenanigans and big birds…. Did you know that Big Bird, Sesame Street’s yellow fellow, is made with turkey feathers? It’s true. And … Continue reading
How Much?
How much spam can a person get while gone for five days? A lot! Oh well. Set up in the Animals of the World Barn. Quail rides Turkey for early entertainment. So you wanna hear a sample of comments and questions that were asked of us at our turkey and quail display? Here goes: Why do they … Continue reading
All the World is a Stage?
Well, at least our world for five days will be. Bet and I and the Bowerman gals will be down at the Puyallup Fair for its last five days. We exhibit our turkeys and quail in the Animals of the World Barn. We work hard setting up and then we work the crowd for the … Continue reading
Clearly, Clearly I’ve Changed
Clearly Dear Reader, you are not confident that I would not give you things like lamb tails. But really I would only do that if you were that type of person. Oh, oh, I feel a story brewing up…. After reading her posts about her sisters’ visit and the pranking that went on, this one … Continue reading
We Won, We Won
Hey I hate to brag, really I do, but when you get as little opportunity as myself, you seize every bragging moment possible and because the only other person that reads this blog that I was competing against also won, I can jump up and down here and say “I won, I won, no wait, … Continue reading
Come On, You Didn’t Just Say That!
So here I was at the fair the last day. Having a great time, laughing. Talking with some people Rebecca and I know. Enjoying my new found political agreement with my good friend (she’s been a Republican all her life and I’m a Democrat for McCain). We were not talking loudly but then again we … Continue reading
The Girls Will Never Be The Same
You may or may not recognize the two in the middle. They were finalists on a show called, So You Think You Can Dance. The girl is Courtney and the young man, Thane. The girls saw them walking through the barn Thursday night or maybe Wednesday night I can’t remember. They stoppped them and talked … Continue reading
We’re Home, I’m Glad, But Cranky
I’m home and I’m glad. I’m glad to be back in the company of Dirt, glad for being surrounded with familiarity. A change freak, party girl, recognizes that she needs, needs, familiarity and quiet. If you desire to see the cute and fuzzy side of the fair check out Kathy’s Spot on Cedar Pond, she … Continue reading
