Today I guess I will be heading over to Fonda to make my fair entries. Last year I picked a few photos off of Northview, printed them and entered. They came in second, which was quite a happy making sort of event and I got a pass which is always quite handy. Then I gave the framed photos away as Christmas gifts, which worked out pretty well too. Thus I will do the same this year.
The fair is less than a mile from here so no matter how determined I am to stay home, the lure always proves irresistible, every single year. How can you pass up a chance to meet dozens of friends you haven't seen since last year, see hundreds of lovely animals (although if Altamont is any yardstick numbers will be down), eat lots of bad for you but oh, so tasty food, and partake of the atmosphere of a county fair? I know I can never quite resist.
So....now I need to choose some photos....I was thinking maybe these....or these....any suggestions?

I loved my christmas presents. Matt wanted me to enter my jade plant.
I really like the silhouettes. Lots of luck with whatever you enter.
Good luck and enjoy the fair. I like the silhouettes too.
I love all your photos = it would be sooooo hard to choose :)
Good luck at the fair!
Good luck on at the fair - and you nailed it, there is something about fair food :)
I like the frogs, but all your photos are winners!
I'm kind of excited about entering my rodeo photos...Here's hoping they like them lol
You gotta go with the frogs, your love of them shows in each photo!
Good luck! And you all have fun now, you hear!

I would go with the head shot of the frog for at least one entry.
I agree that Fonda is hard to resist. When I was little I used to get choked up every time we went past the empty fairgrounds.
XOXO

Lisa, I am so glad you liked them. I wasn't sure.....
Cathy M, I entered them! Thanks.
Apple, Thanks, I entered them, but you need four and one is kinda lame....
Deb, thanks!
Nita, thanks! I really look forward to fair food. Our fair isn't for a couple of weeks yet, but one that we usually show at is on now and that is where the goodies are. The Grange ladies make shortcake and rice pudding and all sorts of incredibly wonderful dishes. I hope I can get over at least once!
Liz, they are really nice and I hope you do well
WW, I put four in the animal class and I have another for the 8x10 animal life class.
Linda, thanks!
Joce, I did an 8x10 of that one. I like it too. I know what you mean about the empty fair grounds. I have kind of gotten too old to get too excited about it, but just a few short years ago it was the high point of my year.
