A Country Fair
On Saturday, our ward had a country fair activity. There were games and displays, a pie eating contest and a silly fashion show, food to eat, and even a raffle. It was fun.
People in the ward were invited to bring things to display, so we had handmade rugs, crocheted blankets, homemade costumes, wooden pens, pies and other baked goods, bug displays, as well as a lap top showing photos. I brought some of my homemade jewelry, and Hannah brought some unicorns she had crafted out of duct tape. Those who wanted to could donate something for the raffle. There was also a display of family history stuff and another for emergency preparedness.
The games included donuts hanging from strings, rubber band guns, and a ring toss. There was also face painting and a photo booth. Peter spent the evening looking like a pirate, and Hannah had a rainbow painted over one eyebrow. Steven and Josh both participated in the pie eating contest, Josh managing to get his face completely covered in cream pie. I was in the fashion show, wearing a checkered shirt (a shirt with checkers attached to it) and box pleat pants (pants with origami boxes attached.) One sister wore a 24 carat (carrot) necklace that was pretty cool. Others wore a (hula) hoop skirt, van shoes (cardboard boxes that looked like VW vans), loafers (loaves of bread), a 'sports' jacket and a muumuu (cow costume).
They had cotton candy, funnel cakes and popcorn, as well as the hot dogs, salad and chips they served for dinner.
Each person who came received five raffle tickets they could use to bid on any of the items entered for the raffle. My visiting teacher won one of my necklaces. Peter won some homemade baked goods.
It was enjoyable evening for our entire family. I hope our ward decides to do this again.
