“THE GOSHEN COUNTY FAIR”
Jac and I arrived in PA. on Thursday, a day before my show on Friday. I like to come down early to make sure I don’t hit any traffic or run into back ups that always take place on the CT, NJ and PA turnpikes. As we arrived in West Chester PA. Jac saw a sign for the Goshen Country Fair…..”LET’S GO” she said….Since we had nothing better to do and I had already dropped off all of the clothing, sketches etc that I lug down for each show , I said LET’S GO!. We stopped at the hotel first to check in….got directions to the fair and off we went. I had never been to a real country fair with animals and pie contests and the best and biggest squash contest etc. If you have been you know what I mean. There is a picture of me, but I accidentally cut off my head when I was making the collage and didn’t notice it….now I can’t prove I was there….unless you can recognize my legs!!!The pretty little blond girl won a BLUE RIBBON for best calf. I think it was part of the 4H club. As a kid I always wanted to be a member of the 4 H club….oh well another dream unfulfilled! LOL… I loved the lambs in their little costumes with their hoods and coats….especially the ones in the Leopard and Zebra print. I don’t know what they were for, but they were the most fashion inspiration I got…..maybe to keep them clean before they were to be judged??? There were lots of places to eat and drink and tons of rides for the kiddies, and their were TONS OF KIDDIES….most screaming at the top of their lungs. I didn’t find any “fashion” inspiration from all the of people piling in and waiting on long lines for tickets to the rides. Lots of stands with different games where you could win a stuffed animal. After giving the place a good walk around, about 35 minutes, and we were starting to smell like hay…..it was time to…….LET’S GO!……Now I can cross that off my list of things I’ve never done………..Country Fair…..CHECK……….Actually we had a good time……………………….we always do.
