Local Grange Fair

Our local Grange Fair starts today. We used to go for years, mostly to see the kids and their animals. Also, to see the different projects and displays.

Today I was reading about the Fair. There is a large building for projects people in nursing homes have made. They baked goods, grew fruits and vegetables, made quilts, paintings and needlework.

What a great idea. Not sure if this is new or I just don't remember from previous Fairs. But so glad to see it. Guess it is time to go back and see what I have been missing.

Is this different from a county fair? I actually have a set of Grange cookbooks my mother bought form me about 40 years ago.

I have never been to a County Fair. But I bet it is similar. The 4 H kids have their animals judged. There is judging for antique tractors, food stands, 4 H kids make and sew different items and people baking. It is small and that makes it nice. You don't have to walk for miles and it's a nice way to spend the 3 - 4 hours in the afternoon.
