Let's all go to the Fair!!

We're in the thick of the fall Fair season, and of course Deavan couldn't miss his first Carp Fair - in fact, it was so much fun, he went twice!

This was the 145th year of the Carp Fair - an impressive anniversary for our humble hamlet. Agricultural endeavours still feature prominently in the Fair and are a big part of what makes it so special and so much fun. As in previous years, Gab entered a number of contests, and took home prizes in 3 categories: Single Portrait (for a picture of Deavan, of course!), Mixed Herbs, and Ceramic Decoration.

Mark your calendar for next year's Fair!
