CCEE1431


It's a new month and we have a new hostess, Amber Hillman, who has challenged us to make a card having some object or animal you might see at a County Fair or 4-H. The colors for 4-H is green, so you get extra points for using it.

My experiences with County Fairs involved  gardeners, farmers, homemakers, etc. bringing, out some of their finest products from their efforts like vegetables, fruits, quilts, cakes, pies, canned vegetables, etc. Seeing all those blue ribbons and best of the show, I am sure were always a badge of pride for their efforts. So, on this basket of strawberries I gave a blue ribbon. I did not get the bonus points, but used those great American colors of red, white and blue as those are the three top colors of ribbons given. County Fairs seem so Americana.

I'd agree that fairs seem very American to me. (Here we have the Horse Show and Spring Show in Dublin, but there's not as much going on at them. They don't have the midway aspect that I see in films like State Fair or even Charlotte's web). So I think you've captured Amber's challenge perfectly with this, green or no green.
