It's fall. Leaves are changing colour, geese are gathering on the river's edge,
and the fall fairs have begun. A chance for local farmers and their families to gather and gloat about the things they've grown this year...
Hmmm. Nice, uh, hooves.
The competitive spirit isn't the men's domain alone though. The women can be downright proud of their efforts too. Whether it's flower gardening...
or the gentler arts of winter like quilting, tole painting, and decoupaging...
The front foyer decorative display category is always interesting too...
Bonny Burton nailed 1st place for her Washboard Bunny with the Baby in a Box.
After all that competition, it's good to go shoot a few rounds
and blow off some steam.
The neon snakes and pink plush pigs are sure to make you feel like a winner.
And the rides are fun too.
No age limits here, it's fun for all...
And just when you think you've seen everything you hear the distant sounds of the bagpipes and it's time to greet the newly crowned princess...
Rural real Ontario.
Corny? Yes.
Home? That too.

That looks like fun to me!...Except for the bull...I'll pass on that area...
I like the photo of the rides against the sky. The others are good, too, but I love the pipers and the princess. It says "Arnprior-MacNab" on the drum, but the kilts make me think of the red Fraser tartan.

What a wonderful series. Makes me want to get out the woolies and
walk in the crisp air. But still
very much summer here.
That's a huge bull! I assume he's fairly docile . . .
You certainly had all the fun of the fair!
Renfrew fair this weekend, yeee haw! Candy apples n horse pulls!
Corny? What's wrong with corny? I like corny -lol. These photos are all so colourful and happy. Fall is falling over your way and Spring is springin our way. Oh, this wonderful world we live in.
Fall fairs are such fun. Because of being away for work I'm going to miss ours in Powell River, but we did get to a late summer one in Washington State. That was fun, but a lot bigger than our home town one.
You mentioned you are going to freeze some tomatoes after reading my post. I didn't take the skins off mine before freezing, but some people like to do it that way. I don't mind a bit of tomato skin in my soups and sauces. I only froze red tomatoes. I'm hoping to ripen my green ones when I return.
