The DeKalb County VFW Fair has won 1st Place honors for Best County Fair in Alabama for years and last night I attended the opening night of this year's event.There are the typical carnival rides, and judging of displays with ribbons being awarded for flower arranging, home-canned and home-baked foods, hand work and needle work of all varieties, agricultural products and much, much more!
Being a farmer's daughter and having participated in showing farm annimals at various events, I am always most attracted to that segment of the fair. My favorite part of last night's visit to the fair was when a little 8-year-old boy (the son of one of my former customers) ran up to me, grabbed me by the arm and insisted that I go look at his prize-winning chicken !
Life is good at the Fair!

Who doesn't love the fair?! Fair Day was the best day of the entire school year when I was a kid. One of my patients (age 5) told me today that he is going to the fair next week to ride the ferris wheel and look at all the ants. (From the top of the ferris wheel, people are so small, they look like ants -- according to him). I will have to ask him later if he got to see any prize-winning chickens.
