A Big Day Ahead

Tomorrow is a big day in Floyd.  The annual Floyd Harvest Festival & County Fair, the Taste Of Floyd, a walking history tour of Floyd, and this month's Spoken Word all take place.   

Last year Judy and I went to the Taste of Floyd and walked the history tour, but missed the fair. So this year, the fair is my priority. I went to its website  and I was amazed at the scope of it.  Here's a short list of exhibits and competitions: 

• canned fruits and vegetables
• cookies and breads
• pies
• jellies
• pickles
• horticulture of all sort
• quilting and embroidery
• handicrafts
• woodcarving
• photography (I'm one of the judges - so can't enter)
  
• livestock
• hog calling, milk chugging, and hay baling

What's this? I'm starting to hum... "my state fair is the best state fair, don't miss it, don't even be late..."  I can't wait to experience it! 

I sure wish that there was a way to taste the winners of the food categories. I'll think I'll pay attention to the names of the winners in case they're vendors at the fall festivals that take place in October and November.
