June is SUCH a crazy month around here. One of our local fairs is coming up in just two short weeks and all the last minute details to fair projects need to be complete by next week.
We're scrambling here. Not enough time and too long of a to-do list.
Bryce and Paige both are involved with the woodworking and cooking projects through 4H and yesterday was ALL about woodworking. Starting and finishing a flower planter box and painting some of their projects they've already completed were top priorities.
Each planter box required five cuts. That's 10 between the both of them. That's a whole lotta arm movement. When they became tired and their little arms limp from sawing, I stepped in and helped.
When I became tired and my scrawny little arm became limp from sawing, my sister stepped in, both with the sawing and drilling. Everything is done by hand with the little ones. No power tools, just a lot of elbow grease.
All that's left is painting the flower box and we ARE DONE!

Ispent all summer 60 years ago on the fair circut showing Guernsey cattle. Started on Los Banos on the first of May and went to a fair every week until state fair in Sept. Then home for a little bit then Cow Palace at the end of Oct.Wewere as far south as Pomona and north to Ferndale,even went to Fair in Santa Rosa.
Wow! George, that is a whole lot of fair time, dang! I bet some great memories to go along with it!
My daughter is in Horticulture, Fine Arts and Food & Nutrition. Sure wish our extension service could find a way for the F&N fair competitions could feature something besides baked goods (and canned products). So much more in the food world, but the challenges of presenting that in a fair format are HUGE! We do have Food Fest (plan a meal, theme, set the table, etc but no actual food prep), which is a good start, but always seems to fall either during wheat harvest or church camp. Have fun at the fair!!!!

Love fair time! We are too old for the show circuit now, nut we help the high school kids in our small town with their showmanship. Our fair isn't until October, so it's nice to have the cooler weather!
Good luck at fair!!
