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.

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. :-)

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.

What fun! And those independent food vendors probably have better food anyway!

A fun post! The County Fair will open in a couple of weeks: I enjoy wandering through the exhibits.

You have an amazing fair. Ours is tiny, tiny, tiny, but people are very loyal to it!

Rita said...

Very colorful, indeed! Sounds like you know the best places to eat, too. :)

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.
Blessings,
Betsy

I'm sure you enjoy the midway...carnaval with the background you have.

Looks like you had fun at the fair ( and nice weather too!).

Lynda said...

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.

I miss the fairs....it's too hot here. I would definitely go for the independent food vendors....sounds so good...I remember those food booths...YUMMO! I remember one that was from the Dairy Association and they were serving cream puffs!
