Our whole family went to the NC State Fair on Monday October 16th. What a great adventure! We started out by going to see the old timey crafts. There were demonstrations and we saw weaving, glass blowing, braided carpets, carving, etc. As you can see by the photo, they even had "period clothes" to try. Then we saw the old farm equipment, the rabbits, and the hobbies and crafts. Then on to the fair rides! Katherine was tall enough this year to ride the bigger rides and seems to have no fear. Matthew rode the newest ride and had fun, but looked a bit shaken when he got off! Rebekah and Kimberly were partners for most rides, but Kimberly couldn't get Rebekah onto one of them! Then we had a picnic lunch while listening to a folk festival. Then we looked at the art competition and saw the juggling/acrobatic act. That was incredible! (See them at www.gotmills.com). Then on to the bike show where they do jumps and spins, etc. To end the day, we ate supper while watching a horse show. After nearly 10 hours at the fair, we were all tired but very happy!
