2014 NC State Fair Fun

We came.  We saw.  We conquered.

For the first time in SEVERAL years I attended the North Carolina State Fair (October 2014).  We actually had a great time and I was glad that I was able to document most of it.  Here are some of the highlights.



We marveled at the elaborate balloon display:




We salivated over the fabulous food exhibits:

HONEY



APPLES


GINORMOUS PUMPKINS


THE CUTEST VEGGIES AT THE FAIR!



We oohed and ahhhed over the adorable farm animals:
 



We went on rides (even me!):




We played games:


 We went "people watching":




We ate YUMMY food:
FRIED OREOS



AND....  dun dun duuuun....  We won Blue Ribbons!
I entered 2 rubber stamping categories in the Novice Category for Rubber Stamping - Card Making.  Next year I will qualify for the "Professional" category if I choose to enter again. 

Novice Category / Rubber Stamping - Embellishments:  First Prize


Framed at for temporary display at home in my craft room / art studio:




Novice Category / Rubber Stamping - Layers:  First Prize AND Best of Show.  The layers and detail were hard to photograph.  I will share the techniques in a later post but I would like to get a better photo so the layers are more visible.  






Until next year....
