Kyle Fair and Music Festival Part 3 - The Carnival

There was a nice little carnival with about 7 or 8 rides and some cool games. I could have lost some money winning my wife a stuffed animal had I brought money with me...

The boat was awesome.

Part II

Scarecrows are the name of the game. The 2nd annual Scarecrow building competition was held about a week ago at the Negley Elementary School grounds. I'm happy to say that my "Snowy The Scarecrow" took 2nd place (to the Southwest Airlines traveling scarecrow) in Most Original. Last year my broom-headed scarecrow took first ( I had it in my garage so I took it out and it was included in this year's judging and got honorable mention).

Happy Tuesday.
