Bound for the State Fair

Growing up I never participated in fair activities beyond eating fried food and hopping from ride to ride. The concept of showing animals was beyond me because I lived in town so I just assumed that you couldn’t. As I got older I never joined FFA or 4-H for the same not solid logic.

A bargain hunter’s dream

I have always been what many people would call a thrifty person. Growing up it was all about sale racks, thrift shops and garage sales. With five siblings it was the smartest way to shop, but as I got older I began to appreciate all that a person can find with a little bit of looking.
