Watercolor Wednesday: Fun at the Fair

We arrived home today from a wonderful time in Minnesota, seeing family and friends. And I went to the Minnesota State Fair a record three times! Somehow I managed not to eat too much fried food on a stick, but did indulge in the olives with cream cheese, battered and deep fried with a ranch dipping sauce!

The Fair had record attendance this year, and I’m not surprised as the weather was amazing – sunny and not too hot. The kids love this very American expression of the end of summer, with its agricultural beginnings. 

I bought a postcard at the Fair with a design similar to the one above. I gave it to my dad and asked if he could recreate it in his own style, which he did and gave to me as an early Christmas present after just two days! I think it’s grand and look forward to finding some wall space for it. 

Do you like the experience of a state or county fair? Or an English fayre?
