The Centre County, Pennsylvania, county fair is one of the last remaining camping fairs in the country. Tent sites are so coveted that are inherited and often appear in wills. In most cases, the same family has camped in the same spot for more than 100 years. The fair lasts a week. For more information visit the Grange Fair website.
ReplyDeleteI have such fond memories of the Warren County fair, back where I grew up. I was involved in 4H, so this was where I lived for a week. County fairs back there are a dime a dozen though, so our tent sites are not all that coveted. I LOVE the picture of the pig tail. Haha!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilts! Nothing like a county fair...
ReplyDeleteI adore events like these. An that curly tail is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI love all of the atmosphere at fairs! The picture of the tail is just adorable.
ReplyDeletethese are the kind of fairs I like great shots. Happy WW
ReplyDeleteOh that little tail...so cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the swirly tail shot.
ReplyDeleteOh to be able to visit that fair would be wonderful... Most county fairs are so much about rides now and not about craftmenship also... and wee piggie tail is cute
ReplyDeleteI love the quilts - always - I can get quite lost in every stitch. I must say, though, that the piggie tail might have been more of an attraction for me. (Great piggie tail photo!)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I love the pig's tail!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are great! I hope you guys had an amazing time.
ReplyDeleteinteresting shots, great perspective, love the quilt. Here’s my WW hope you can stop by!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for the background. It's fair season here, too, but nothing that intense (at least for the casual spectator). Love the quilts, too!
ReplyDeleteOh, awesome, glad you took some pictures! The quilts are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the details... I was very curious about the tents. That curly-Q tail is adorable!
ReplyDeleteWow how awesome! And I love that curly tail, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'd always wanted to visit a county fair. (No such thing where we live, unfortunately.)
ReplyDeleteOh, how I'd love to get one of those quilts! :)
Thanks for stopping by.
The Big E is the agricultural fair around these parts and it takes place in early fall. I've never been! If I get to see curly piggy tails I'd be more inclined to go.
ReplyDeleteTht tail made me SMILE :)
ReplyDeleteLovely!!! Looks great!
I hope you guys had fun!
I've never even heard of a camping fair before, it sounds so great. How amazing that the same families have been in those spots for that long!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures and great to hear about inherited camp sites. Those quilts look amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt's only another month or so before we have our county fair. I'm definitely looking forward to it! The fair is always a bunch of fun, despite its propensity for giving me headaches.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! I love the last pic!! :P
ReplyDeleteYour photos bring back memories of my many visits to the California State Fair. Thanks for sharing!
