There are those of us that have reach that certain age and are no
longer interested in being placed in a sling shot and shot into the
heavens. Not to say that we don't enjoy all the other things the fair
has to offer such as the exhibits, art work, livestock, flowers, concerts,
rodeos and so much more. One of my wife's and my favorite exhibit is
the landscape and floral displays. There is no shortage of beauty and

really is something for everyone and every taste at the fair. Look at
these magnificent cribbage boards from Great Western Enterprises located

wants to get me one I'll take that one. I had visions of this wonderful
hand made boat resting auspiciously on my mantle above my fireplace. This
handcrafted vessel comes from Vietnam as did most of the crafts from this
particular booth. My wife and I also found it very interesting watching
all of the artists in action. This young

area long. After leaving the ceramics we found Jack Davis creating some
custom copper dishes and bowls. Jack Davis is a true master |
