And how wonderful to find inspiration there, as well. :) Did you take lots of pictures on your missions trip? I'm sure we'll have lots to catch up on in a couple of weeks!<br /><br />I also agree that the fair is a romantic setting, so I'm excited to see what people come up with for their entries! Feel free to enter, too, if you're interested. ;) <br /><br />Ah, "State Fair"...good times! <br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-63765781034313460102010-08-14T14:21:24.428-06:002010-08-14T14:21:24.428-06:00I absolutely love the fair!

I think what I love most is that we come from a small county, and I live in Monmouth and go to church in Dallas, so whenever I go to the fair I see tons of people I know, some of which I haven't seen for quite a while. I love going just to see people!<br /><br />This weekend is our Polk County Fair, and I went Thursday evening. One attraction I especially enjoyed was the art exhibit. I have recently become interested in photography, and there were amazing pictures there to admire. It was inspirational for me, as well! <br /><br />I think that the fair is a very romantic setting, as "State Fair" would surely agree! I'll be looking for those contest entries!lindsaywhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455324625629173511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-67382334980764494572010-08-12T14:18:42.955-06:002010-08-12T14:18:42.955-06:00Hannah,

And yes, it is awesome that I'm going to a friend's birthday party! :D It's at a local bowling alley, so maybe I could put my bowling class skills to use. ;) Just kidding--I'm really not that good! <br /><br />You're always welcome to enter--I doubt any professional writers are going to enter (although you never know...). ;) But if you decide not to, there will be other plain-old giveaways going on in the next couple of weeks, so don't despair!<br /><br />Talk to you soon!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-72720074047482216012010-08-12T12:45:14.402-06:002010-08-12T12:45:14.402-06:00Guy is really awesome!

I'm sure the Kentucky State Fair would be huge, so it might not be as cozy as a county fair, anyway. ;)<br /><br />I should watch his show more often. Guy is so fun! <br /><br />I'm so glad you're going to enter the contest! Looking forward to reading your entry! :D<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-45350782606626077782010-08-12T12:21:56.320-06:002010-08-12T12:21:56.320-06:00I haven't been to a fair in years.

Then the Kentucky State Fair is later in August, but that's in Louisville, and I really do not care for Louisville. <br /><br />Would be very cool to be able to see Guy Fieri! I always enjoy watching him when I'm at my parents house. I don't have cable, so I don't get to watch him a lot. <br /><br />Hope you have fun at the fair next week. I'm already trying to think of something to write!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847510545827506148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-87129667116714947692010-08-12T12:16:49.344-06:002010-08-12T12:16:49.344-06:00Julia,

But the fair is about 45 minutes away or so, and we've already decided we're going next week.<br /><br />And I love Food Network, too! I'm sorry you don't get to see it anymore. :(<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-69854597211093119092010-08-12T12:14:35.943-06:002010-08-12T12:14:35.943-06:00Kav,

I hope you get to go to the fair again sometime! :)<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-22359382234753499442010-08-12T07:05:10.800-06:002010-08-12T07:05:10.800-06:00Have fun at the fair, Amber!

The last time I went to fair my favourite 'exhibit' if you can call it that was the dog trials.

But I'm sorry you didn't have such very good experiences before--that's good that you're able to laugh about it now, though! <br /><br />I actually wrote a post about a similar topic close to the time when I first started my blog.

The last two times I went was not pretty and ended up being one of those most embarassing story type things.

I'm sure I will! ;) I'm sorry you missed your fair this year. :( Hope you can join me next week for our fair in the blogging world!<br /><br />Guy is awesome, isn't he? Isn't it crazy that he's from my county?! He apparently used to have a pretzel cart. :) And you and your cars!<br /><br />I'm sorry you won't be entering the contest, but I hope you'll have fun next week anyway! And there should be a couple of giveaways during the "End of Summer Bash" the following week, so stay tuned for that! :D<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-54105695699385407462010-08-11T22:03:10.326-06:002010-08-11T22:03:10.326-06:00Ooooo have fun at the fair!

LOVE those LOL!<br /><br />Your fair sounds awesome though! Guy Fieri?! He's sooo cool...I love his Camaro :-D<br /><br />The contest sounds fun but have no talent in the creative writing department.
