We dined at a place with picnic tables and homemade signs on the Independant Midway…the fancy smancy Carnival Food is way too expensive.  A Independant Midway…those are the places just outside the Carnival Midway.  4-H stands, church ladies food stands, pork producers and local people with food trailers or trucks….they pay for the “privilege” of setting up directly to The Fair Board and are not affiliated with the Carnival at all.

I hope you are enjoying the colors of summer.

  3. I'd love to see those quilts in person. They look interesting and different from the usual. Yes, it's definitely summer in our necks of the woods. :-)

  4. They are some great colors. I haven’t been to a county fair for years. Maybe this year, being less than 15 miles away we can go for a part of a day. I brought out a new colorful quilt for our bedroom from my collection of quilts.

  12. I enjoyed seeing all of the fair colors. I would think that the “independent “ booths would be much more fun to visit. Fun times of summer.

  17. Beautiful quilts!
    Glad you ate at the other food booths. I know all eateries are inspected by the health departments and deemed safe to eat but I trust locals more - - and like supporting them.
