The Skagit County Fair 2010 edition started up Wednesday, August 11. It ends tomorrow, Saturday, August 14.Betty Jo Bouvier, one of the Woolley Wild Women is heading to Mount Vernon to the fair today. To see a 5 year old's Bunny 4-H display. At least that's why Betty Jo said she was going to the County Fair for the first time in years.
I suspect the real reason Betty Jo is fairbound is so she can participate in the Homebrew Competition. The Brewers Choice Awards are to be announced around 2pm Saturday. The categories of beer that Betty Jo might get to sample include American Pale Ales, India Pale Ales, Light Ales, Amber Ales, Dark Ales, Light, Amber and Dark Lagers, plus Other Beers, like those flavored with fruit.
It costs $7 for an adult (19-64) to get in the fair. Seniors (65+) are $6. Kids (7-18) are also $6. Under 6 is free.

Wasn't aware of the Homebrew Competition--I will definitely make a note of that! We are going to see the Bunny 4H and The Haylards. Ninety degree weather is predicted. OUCH! Maybe a snocone is in order.
ReplyDeleteBetty Jo, the Homebrew Competition looks like it's a big deal, with the winner getting his brew bottled at the Anacortes Brewery. Next year you should enter that stuff you brew in your still.
