Ladies and Gents, this is the moment you've waited for

Sitting back luxuriating in a very clean downstairs so you know what means: we had company. So I haven't had time to write that up. Instead, please enjoy some pictures from the Calhoun County Fair of this year.

Ribbon-winning produce on display in the Floral Barn.

Here, pickles pack the stands for the pickle races! The shelves are absolutely jammed!

And prize-winning baked goods. So this is all stuff from the crafts exhibit and you know who was showing off some of their crafts this year?

Wait for it a moment but here's other crafts or collections or stuff that people showed off, some of which you can see has won prizes.

There we are! bunny_hugger entered a bnch of pictures and if you know where to look you can see some of them already. Hint: they have roller coasters in them.

See that Third Place ribbon? That's for one of bunny_hugger's pictures, the photograph from a retirement party.

Do those carousel photos look familiar? Sure, because I do photos like this all the time too, but in this case, these are bunny_hugger's hard work.

And now we're to some of her hard work that got recognized as a second-place winner, for holiday photographs (color).

And here her black-and-white holiday photograph won ... something, but the ribbons are all tangled up so who can know which it is?

Trivia: The 1946 case of United States vs Causby declared an upper limit to a landowner's claims to the sky to 365 feet; thus, when drones fly at 400 feet, they are avoiding legal trouble but are still well within snooping range. Source: Land: How the Hunger for Ownership Shaped the Modern World, Simon Winchester. (Per Wikipedia, the Supreme Court found 300 feet above the terrain being part of a public easement, and as the highest point of Thomas Lee Causby's terrain was 65 feet high, he deserved compensation for the flights passing between 83 feet --- the lowest altitude used --- and 365 feet above the ground level.)
