Day at the Ventura County Fair

08/12/2010

Today I took my girls to the Ventura County Fair to see how our entries did. If you remember one of my earlier entries Lily made a quilt to enter. Today was dollar day so it seemed like half the world was there. We were lucky to nab a free parking spot about a 5 minute walk from the fair.One of the things that really struck me today were all the really vibrant and saturated colors everywhere.

A colorful ride
The required clown. My baby didn’t seem to mind him although I was terrified of clowns as a child!
A colorful display of fishbowls. Luckily Lily didn’t win one. She already has a Beta fish.
4-H girls waiting to see how their guinea pigs did during the judging. Aren’t they spiffy?
The girls up on the swing.
