More from the Fair

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.

  1. A wonderful display, and to have a basket of various goodies all at the same time takes some serious planning. Noisy, I am sure. Vintage cars, that is a class all of its own. My Dad had an old Essex, running boards, a huge bench seat behind the two big front seats, probably a 1930 Super Six.A shame he had to trade it in for a newer Ford car, about 1951.

  2. You have maintained the ritual of the fall fair. I haven’t been to one for quite some time.

  4. Those veggies are COLORFUL. Years ago we went to a county fair and I was astounded by the variety of chicken breeds there; who'd have thought there were so many people raising rare birds of chickens.

  8. I used Google Lens on the car and it says a 1932 Ford Panel truck although the license plate says 1934.
    Such colourful vegetables! It must take some very special planning for growing! Kudos to the entrants.

  9. The vegetables remind me that I'm a pitiful gardener - no big harvest here. But the displays are lovely.
    I can imagine the sound of all the birds in a barn...I'd be backing out. Thanks to Patsy for identifying the panel truck. Neat vehicle!

  12. I have never entered my veggies in the Fairmont but maybe I should. One year a neighbor asked if she could have some stuff for a "display". I later learned her daughter who was in 4H entered it as a harvest basket and got a ribbon! That bothered me, even though it was nice to know my veggies were appreciated!

  13. The photo of the caged geese is such a wonderful shot. Your fair looked like a lot of fun with many things to see. The Dodge car brought back bad memories for me as a father-in-law bought me one so his daughter would be safe if there was an accident. He was strange and I hated the look fo the car.

  14. Hi there,

    I wanted to share an important health testimonial that may help people seeking alternative treatment options. My name is Dylan Brandon from the UK. I was once a vaginal cancer and herpes patient, and at one point I was also diagnosed with a brain tumor and vaginal cancer. My doctor recommended Dr Jekawo Herbal Remedy and explained how he uses herbal medicines to treat a wide range of illnesses. At that point I was desperate and decided to contact Dr Jekawo by email after watching his documentary.

    After explaining my situation, Dr Jekawo provided details about how his remedies work and how to purchase them through his website, [www.drjekawo.com](http://www.drjekawo.com). A week later the herbal medicines were shipped to me via courier. I followed the treatment for three weeks and experienced a full recovery from my brain tumor and vaginal cancer. The results were so remarkable that friends of mine with breast and prostate cancer also reached out to Dr Jekawo for treatment, and they too report being cured with his herbal medicines.

    If you or someone you know is interested in contacting Dr Jekawo, his email is [drjekawo@gmail.com] and his website is [www.drjekawo.com](http://www.drjekawo.com). He states that he can treat a wide range of conditions including bladder cancer, brain cancer, HIV, herpes, esophageal cancer, gallbladder cancer, gestational trophoblastic disease, head and neck cancer, Hodgkin lymphoma, intestinal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, kidney cancer, HPV, leukemia, liver cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, mesothelioma, adrenal cancer, bile duct cancer, bone cancer, multiple myeloma, neuroendocrine tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, oral cancer, ovarian cancer, sinus cancer, hepatitis A/B/C, skin cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, wart removal, lupus, spinal cancer, stomach cancer, testicular cancer, throat cancer, thyroid cancer, uterine cancer, fibroid, angiopathy, ataxia, arthritis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), fibromyalgia, fluoroquinolone toxicity syndrome, fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, Alzheimer disease, chronic diarrhea, COPD, Parkinson disease, adrenocortical carcinoma, infectious mononucleosis, vaginal cancer, and vulvar cancer.

    I hope this information reaches those in need and offers an avenue to explore further options.
