Day One.
As far as first days go, it could have been better, weather
wise, but it was still pretty good. The showers which fell at a couple of
different points throughout the day didn’t seem to dissuade people from coming
out though I am sure the numbers tomorrow will tell a different story. For my
money there were quite a few people out there.
At any rate, there’s usually a bit of activity on the first
day. The fair officially opens and many of ag-still projects are judged on the
first day. I am pleased to report that the two pictures I entered won in their
classes.
This photo was entered in the 2012 Hardin County Fair
pictures contest where it took second. I took it on the back of Joe Kearns
wagon on Draft Horse day. It was beaten out by a really good pic of a young
exhibitor sleeping next to his dairy feeder.
This second photo won it’s class. It was entered in the
Hardin County Fair special which included scenes from around Hardin County. I
took it several years ago during a barn raising on County Road 180. This
particular barn raising happened several weeks after the original barn caught
fire and they all turned out to build another one. This barn was finished in
the same day and is one of my favorite shots. The fact that it won took me by
surprise considering the shear number of photos that are entered each year. So
I was pleased.
Like I said, the rain came and went several times, but it
held off for the King and Queen contest and the High School Band show so that
was nice. Natalie Molk from Kenton and Austin Eibling from Upper Scioto Valley
were named the fair king and queen so a good luck to them this week.
Tomorrow I will not be able to make it to the grounds until
later in the day so I may not have as much to talk about then but I’ll let you
know tomorrow what happens so…
Stay tuned.
Congratulatins on your pictures. Good choices.
