    You live in PA and you would have gone to a fair in NJ? WOW! My favorite fair is the Kutstown Fair in Allentown, PA. It should be happening soon. I think in Sept! You really should check it out...the quilts displayed are outstanding and there is a whole huge building full of them!!!

    There is a great fair coming in a couple of weeks in Sandwich, IL...lots of fun. I can't wait!

    The County fairs have always been a place where homemakers can bring their quilts, canned foods and other craft items to be seen and judged. One of the things I love best is to go through the showroom ad look at all the beautiful things with ribbons hanging on them. It always helps my feelings if something of mine has a ribbon. Most of the fairs pay premiums for the different ribbons. I love picking up a check with my stuff when I take it home. Quilting is a dying art. We must keep it alive! Enter your items in the fair and have some fun!!
