Family Loss and the Official End to County Fair Season '17

Well..... it is finally over.  It took what seemed like forever, but our county fair season is officially over.

We had a rough week with the loss of our brother-in-law.  We missed out on some fair activities to support his family.  I thought this week, since we have not been doing school, I would post the results of all the kiddos hard work this year with our county fair's open class.
