Oh what fun! I love the fair! Our small town fair comes in July.
ReplyDeleteThe State Fair - what fun! Here in CT, fair season doesn't roll around until fall, but we look forward to it every year. Wonderful pictures -
ReplyDeletethank you, Susan.
Wow, this looks like so much fun and how nice that the profits go back to the community.
ReplyDeleteThanks for having us Susan and Happy Outdoor Wednesday!
Best wishes,
Natasha, Stacey and Holly.
Wow. It's funny to think you could have a state fair that early in the spring. Aren't the kids still in school? Our State Fair is in August.
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are great evening pictures of the rides! Looks like lots of fun! It's my first time linking up - thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun time at the State Fair! Lots of goodies to eat and lots of cute animals too. Great photos, Susan!
ReplyDeleteThese shots are priceless...oh, how I love a good fair!
ReplyDeleteFairs are always alot of fun! Thanks for hosting Outdoor Wednesday as I am enjoying participating and checking everyones posts~~~Lisha
ReplyDeleteSome of those rides look like fun. Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of fun. I haven't been to a state fair in many years. I think I need to plan a trip next fall for the TX state fair. ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteI'm craving cotton candy & fried dough! Haven't been to a fair in ages, it's great that the proceeds go to the community! Thanks for hosting :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the State Fair! I went to a Georgia one once on my way to Orlando. I have also been to a fair in Valdosta, but I don't remember which one... although I think it was named after a flower. Great post!
ReplyDeleteHI Susan,
ReplyDeleteOh this makes me yearn for a day at the fair. Ours isn't until September, right after school starts. I love spending the day looking at EVERY SINGLE THING!!! And of course eating some really good (bad for you) food.
Your fair must be early because it gets so hot where you are. I'd love a warm evening riding the ferris wheel. That sounds like heaven. Also, embarassing but true, one of my favorite movies of all times is "State Fair", I watch it every year at least twice.(and my girls and I know all the songs!!)...It's a grand night for singing....
Thanks for sharing these picutures - the sunset one is esp. pretty!

Thanks for hosting! I'm gonna have to check out the fair next year since we are not that far away...it looked like fun.
ReplyDeleteWow, you got some great shots, Susan! I love how colorful the sky is in that last one. I used to love to go to the State Fair as a child. This just tempts me to go as an adult. I think I need a pronto pup! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHope to post with you in the not too distant future for Outdoor Wed. I have some night shots of St. Augustine that Fred took that are awesome. He took them with his cell phone.
XO,
Sheila :-)
Oh, what fun! I love the fair! I was bummed because I missed our state fair this year.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite meme. Thank you so much for hosting it every week!

I haven't been to a fair in a few years but remember the fun.
ReplyDeleteI remember taking our kids to the County fair every summer. One year the girls submitted items they had made and won ribbons - they were so excited! It is a wonderful experience for kids and grownups alike. The sunset photo is so pretty!
ReplyDelete~Jean
Wow! That is quite the fair. I love the photos at night!!

The only reason I go to our state fair is for the free homemade biscuits and to see the arts and crafts exhibits- I am too scared to ride anything!Wonder how long it will be before a state fair is a thing of the past?
ReplyDeleteSusan, I love your blog. It uplifts my day and your Outdoor Wednesdays are fabulous. I love the outdoors! My first Outdoor Wednesday participation. I so enjoyed hearing about Georgia's State Fair.
ReplyDeleteI love the fair! Ours is in October here in SC. I would have thought Georgia's State fair would have been closer to our time frame too! It's always fun to go and see all the pretty cakes and lovely artwork, and eat! I don't do the rides anymore!
ReplyDeleteI love country fairs! I miss the ones I used to attend in the Summer and Fall in New England. Your pictures brought back a lot of special memories for me. :0)
ReplyDeletei love festivals like this! still catching for my entry.
ReplyDeletebelated happy Mother's day..and thanks for sharing these wonderful and lively images!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the exhibits.
I have an award for you on my blog.
