Going to the Fair

The Nebraska State Fair is moving from Lincoln to Grand Island after next year's fair season. I've been going to the State Fair in Lincoln since I was a little girl, and it's one of my favorite things to do. Today Conan and I went to the Fair and here are my highlights of this year's Fair.


Every year, I just love seeing the baby chicks in the UNL Birthing Center.
I couldn't resist this sleeping baby goat and I couldn't believe it could sleep with all the other babies running around it.


Who says llamas aren't cute.

These ducks are the "Puddle Jumpers."

Cabela's "Dock Dogs."
Dana Kunze, Pirates of the Caribbean High Dive Show

There were marching bands every fifteen minutes.

My niece, Kaley, received a Blue Ribbon on her quilt entry that she worked reeealy hard on.

This was a pencil drawing that looked like a photo! It was drawn by a fifteen year old 4-H'r. It was amazing.

This is an open class, mixed media, collage.

A black and white photograph that received Best in Show.

The Grand Champion in the quilt exhibit.

These were other quilts that I thought were colorful and interesting...my favorites.
