I see that our last post was on July 31st! Good grief. Life started moving so fast after that, and so many e-mails were flying that little time was left for blogging. But now we have fair photos to share!
Before I start adding them to the photo album though, I want everyone to know how much I appreciated all of your hard work and team spirit during the Island County Fair. You all took your responsibilities seriously (well, we may need to talk about 4-H Building barn duty, but later :) ), and pitched in whenever you were asked.
If you took any one element of the fair and really looked at all that goes into it, you'd see that each one of them is an accomplishment in itself. For instance, the Livestock Sale, Round Robin, Parade of Champions, Kitchen Contests, division competitions, etc., each require so much planning and attention to detail as well as support from all sorts of volunteers.
Now, roll them all together into one big event called "the fair," and you can begin to imagine all of the complexities and conflicts that can arise.
And yet we made it through them all with flying colors! You are a most wonderful group! Thank you for working with each other so well.
