For the third time I entered an item at the home arts section of the Clark County Fair.  The pattern is called Princess of Twilight and it's designed by Lisa Naskrent at Crochet Garden.  Next to the dress is a third place ribbon that I won.


Last year I entered the Love Knot dress by the same designer and here's a picture of that one.


Notice I got two ribbons, a first place and a fine arts award.  I also one a prize of a hotel room in Mesquite and two prime rib dinners.  I didn't get to use the prize but it was still pretty cool to win.  I've got to plan something bigger for next year.  Once you've been a contender there's no going back.

I love to go to the county fair and it's become a tradition to go every year with the kids.  My favorite part of going is the food.  I love to get a hand dipped corn dog, or a cone of cotton candy, or a homemade root beer. 

If Connor had to pick his favorite thing it would be the pony rides.  See how happy he looks? 


If Katie had to pick her favorite thing at the fair it would be anything but the pony rides.  She yelled, "DOWN!" the whole time.
