So what would you expect to find at an Alaskan fair?
Snowplows. Right?
Humongous rotary snow blowers, right?
Dog sleds....
I didn't know the Troopers had dog sleds...
Note cards with an Alaskan theme....
Alaskana books...
A raffle to benefit the Iditarod sled dog race. This is the red truck I didn't win.
And this is the black truck I didn't win....
Alaskan themed shops...
And Alaskan grown flowers.
But, the Alaska State Fair has other stuff, too.
A teddy bear stuffer....
A wax hand holding a turtle, which was a lovely pastel shade of sea foam green until the guy asked the boy what other color he'd like....
...and he chose blue. Boys ALWAYS choose blue.
And the ever-popular face paintings....
and the hair concoctions...
And colorful bags...
and handmade quilts....
Diamond willow walking sticks....
with a close up of the diamond...
A garden dedicated to the victims of Alzheimer's.....
and more Alaskan grown flowers...
One more post about the fair and then I'll tell you about an adventure I had the next day. Stay tuned.
Cool. The Alaska State Fair. That sounds so exotic.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see a book about Alaska written by you for sale at the fair. Maybe next year?
