I Won Prizes in Our Small County Fair

Our county is next to two counties that have fairly large fairs in summer. Our county fair was Memorial Day weekend. I entered 6 things and won prizes. Here are (not the best) photos.

This is a modification of one of the dinner/reception dresses from 1882 about which I posted many moons ago. The original bodice has a lower, square neckline and 3/4 length sleeves. A lot of red taffeta.

1950’s style dress in black taffeta and red brocade

Vest like the men’s ones but in my size

Straight wool skirt with darts, waistband, inseam pockets, center back zipper

Pillowcase from a previous post

Same pattern as the orange linen dress

And here are some photos of the antique carousel from 1911 or 1912 at Oaks Park.
