NC State Fair, part 3

The following pics are a mixture of exhibits from the Hobby & Crafts contest entries and the 4-H entries:

For Kimberly, who loves fairies:

A close up of a fairy with her mushroom...don't you love the acorn hat and leaf wings?
Steps lead up to the pebble path and mailbox.
And the walnut wheelbarrow with tiny vegetables...

And the fairy in front of the grape vine porch and pebbled pool.
An origami dragon..too cool!  I think this was in the youth division, but I didn't look to see what age range.
The Temple of Heaven from China...one of my favorites! It was positioned too far away to read the tag, but I'm assuming adult level.

Not sure if this is a wood carving or a stone/clay work. Either way, it makes me think of Lord of the Rings!


I hate we didn't make it to the vegetable exhibit. One of my neighbors won the blue ribbon (2nd year in a row!) and set a new state record this year for his giant watermelon. He's already prepping the soil for next year's crop! Way to go, Todd!
