County Fair
So, a bunch of us in our Tuesday night knitting gang entered knit items into the San Mateo County Fair. ‘Nette’s lavender hooded baby sweater won second place in its category! The rest of us didn’t win anything, but we got free entrance tickets and a free parking pass, so it works out.
Yesterday was our day to go to the fair, but we almost didn’t make it b/c I had a rotten headache and didn’t crawl out of bed till about three o’clock. Finally made it, though. I wasn’t good for much, but we saw our stuff, the Things rode rides, we spent a long time at the cool hands-on exhibits, I had a latte, Hubby had a Cinnabon, and we got to hear a little bit of Tower of Power’s show. All in all, a good day. Rest of the pictures are here, but these are the two of us with 1) my bowl and 2) ‘Nette’s bag, my green & pink bag, and my red bag.
(Matthew’s doily is directly behind my head.)
You can just barely see the bottom of “Lucy’s” bag above ‘Nette’s. If it had registered in my little pea brain that it was her bag, I would have made sure to include it in the picture. BTW, I take no responsibility for Thing One’s outfit; she chose it herself (and she even had a pink/blue/white striped Lizzie McGuire shirt underneath!).
OH how I miss the county fair! Tower of Power WOO! Great looking bags there
LOL about the outfit. Kiddo has been spending way too much time planning outfits for school, uniforms, there’s somethin’ nice about those 
oh that is so cool. a bunch of us here were saying we should enter some stuff in the fair but weren’t sure how to go about it.
Luis was talking about the County Fair the other day and I mentioned that we could have gotten free tickets had I entered a knitting item. He couldn’t understand why I didn’t. How should I know he likes to go to the County Fair? He hasn’t mentioned anything about this in all the years we know each other. We could not have gone in the end, cause Lisa is still sick. Anyhow - I was going to ask you how it went. Thanks for the update and sorry to hear about your headache. It’s just more fun without.
Have a great weekend.
