E and Z and I went to the Fiber Frolic Saturday--our yearly tradition.
E and Z especially wanted to go see the angora bunnies. They haven't yet successfully talked me into getting them one.
The fair seems to have downsized quite a bit over the last few years--there used to be whole barns full of sheep and goats and alpacas, and now there are just a few animals. They also don't have the llama parade and llama drill teams anymore. They didn't even have the sheepdog demonstrations this year! I was a little disappointed by that.
But they did have the falafel tent.
And ice cream.
And while I refrained from purchasing any yarn because I need to use up my stash first, I bought another one of the gorgeous dish towels I got last year, because I love it so. Also a basket, a book, some natural insect repellent, and lots of food.
I think we did our part to keep the fair from downsizing any further!
always a shame when these things downsize. we went to donkey summer fair an i'm sure there was less going n than last year.
ReplyDeleteloving the dishtowel. and well done on being strong and not buying more yarn, not easy! lol
It is a shame! I didn't even look too closely at the yarn so I wouldn't be tempted!
DeleteYou didn't buy yarn...good for you. Too bad that is has gotten smaller, I think that is par for the course these days, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right. Sadly.
