West Jackson Street, Palmyra, NY
Our home town is blessed to host our annual Wayne County Fair each August.
This year I decided to enter some of my Photography in the Domestic Division,
as well as an Acrylic Painting in the Adult Art work catagory,
and a 20 page Nature book I created and published via Snapfish.
The thrilling part is that of 8 items I entered, 3 were awarded ribbons.
The above greeting cards I created with quotes from
Scripture, won a First Place - Blue ribbon.
This Acrylic Painting was created during a session
at Painting with a Twist on Empire Blvd., in Rochester, NY,
with my family, as a Mother's Day Gift, in May 2013.
My version was slightly different from everyone
elses, in that I chose to make Hearts on my
Tree. I decided that I would paint one Heart
for each of our 14 Grand children
and 2 Great Grand Daughters.
Only I know who is represented
by which Heart.
Since we are the God parents of two of them,
I put a Cross in their two Hearts.
Another was in the Army at the time,
so I created a camouflaged Heart for him.
The 16th was one of our Great Grands,
who we knew would be a little girl,
so hers in Pink.
The Nature book has photos taken during our
2012 Travels. I identified
the Animals, Birds, and Flowers,
as well as telling where it was seen.
It received a
Third Place - Yellow ribbon.
I encourage you to go to the Fair to see the remaining
exhibits. The food concessions are also worth
a visit. Russ and I enjoyed the Grange sponsored
Chicken Bar-B-Q on Senior Citizen's Day.
There are many other wonderful choices to tempt you.
