I couldn't forget to see all the displays based on baking, canning or growing things. Of these it's always the veggies that I take a close look at. And since Mrs. F.G. is in the middle of harvesting tomatoes, hot peppers, cucumbers and other veggies from out own garden. it's always interesting to see what other people have done..
The baskets of mixed veggies always seem like the pinnacle among the displays to me. It means you have to be growing a diversity of them in your garden and have them all ready to harvest at the same time.
There's not much to say about tomatoes, the epitome of veggie growing, at least in our garden.
I loved the way these hot peppers were displayed in an egg container. The bright mix of colours drew my eye from across the room.
I left the building where all these entries were displayed, and wandered to the far side of the fairgrounds. There I was surprised to find a gathering of classic cars! In several years of attending this fair this is the first time I've seen a classic car show.
I didn't ride off the road onto the grass among the cars, as it would have certainly been uncomfortable, and I might have gotten stuck. But I did enjoy what I could see up front. I recognize this blue Plymouth from Canada Day.
And this one intrigued me because it didn't recognize either the colour or the style, so I can't tell you what it is.
Then I headed for the bird barn where dozens of cages were lined up with everything from chickens and geese to a lot more exotic fowl on display. I remember being surprised when I first saw this, as I didn't realize so many farm families raised birds like this.
A couple of unusual geese. I should have read the label, but I was distracted by the cacophony of sound in the barn.
As I left the barn, and the fair, I stopped to say hello to a larger cage of geese outside on the grass. As far as I could see it was another successful fair; I hope the organizers were pleased.
