Come to the Fair! Antrim County Fair, Aug. 7-9, Craven Park, Bellaire

The Antrim County Fair is the real deal.  Take a look at the schedule of events in the Antrim County Fair Book* (the snazzy purple line art on the cover is the work of Sarah Swain, age 7).  There will be a horse show.  There will be llama judging, swine judging, and cavies judging.  There will be decorated cakes and prizewinning pickles and jams.  There will be crocheted and knitted and glued and bespangled items of clothing and home decor.  There will be paintings and photographs and digital scrapbooks.  You will be amazed and delighted.  If you are a Modern Consumer, you will learn something about where your food comes from, and something about the people who grow it for you.  If you’re a grower, I don’t need to tell you about the fair.  But you will probably learn something, too.  See you there.

*Update August 2009: The link to the Fair Book no longer works so I’ve removed it.  But here’s Sarah’s cover!
