A Fair Way to Spend a Day

The unofficial start to Fall for me is the Utah State Fair. If you've seen one state fair, you've seen them all, but I would still be disappointed to miss it. This year, my dad, my brother Damon, and I went on opening day. I think my favorite part is the home arts building where they display all of the quilts, sewing and stitching projects, etc. I can only imagine the satisfaction of creating a gorgeous quilt, let alone being awarded a big ribbon for it! I always enjoy the art and photography displays, too, and the 4-H building is one I hate to miss. It reminds me of my good old 4-H days! We also spent about twenty minutes at "Kachunga & the Alligator Show," which was actually pretty entertaining. Of course, we walked through all of the animal buildings, too!
