Cowlitz County Fair

One tradition that I will continue with my kids is going to the fair. It is fun to see the animals, especially the babies. This year we saw baby pigs and goats. Zoe and Presley got to pet the goat. This year the kids also put a painting into the kids crafts exhibit. We went to see if they got a ribbon. Zoe was so excited she got two ribbons (a blue and purple one!) Presley got a green ribbon. Zoe is already talking about what she wants to put in the fair next year.



We also ate fair food and got kettle corn to go. I'm such a bad mom though, I told Zoe she couldn't go on the rides because you had to be eight. Those things are sooo darn expensive, it is ridiculous!! We found other ways to have fun. :)

The kids even made it into the local paper for being the first to enter the craft tent at the fair on Thursday. :) They decorated potatoes.


"Presley Fortner, 3, peered through his mop of red hair, concentrating as he pushed a button into one of the globs of glue on his potato.

Beside him, his sister Zoe, 4, spelled her name in bright letters across her tuber.

The Fortner kids, of Kelso, were the first to stop by the kids' craft tent noon Thursday at the Cowlitz County Fair, which opened its four-day run under sunny skies and moderate temperatures after the annual kids parade."
Presley was all about the glue!!
