I was pretty excited to take photos next to a tractor, but it proved difficult to pose in front of sheep as Jason's allergies flared up. We left with him red eyed and sneezing. And you know, I don't look at all awkward next to sheep (*sarcasm*). I'm a city girl, born and raised, and it shows here. It was a strange experience - a lot of fried food, sweat shirts, and people pretty much staring at me left and right. I thought this was the perfect kind of outfit for a farm show - you know, as close as I own to boots, a June Carter-Cash-ish skirt, and animal rings.

So funny/cool to see my hometown represented in your blog! Oh the farm show ... I haven't been in years, but I see old acquaintances post about it on Facebook, hahaha. Well, I think you look great. Hope you had fun! Might need to air out your clothes after all those animal and fried smells. ;)

I love fairs and festivals, but sometimes farm shows are a little too much for me...especially when all you can smell is the animals and manure. The food is always yummy, though!
ReplyDeleteYes! It was really off putting like in the parking lot you could smell it! Jason was really freaking out about the poop the whole time, it was kind of funny.
DeletePotato donuts, eh? Interesting. I love potatoes in all of their glorious forms, so I am sure I would have inhaled a dozen....Also, had never been to s state fair (or anything like it) until moving to Minneapolis, and now I love going to them! Butter sculptures? Check. Baby animals? Check. Donuts and french fries and an all-you-can-drink milk stand? Check...Can't wait for summer! :)
ReplyDeletewhat a fun time, and i am always intrigued by the many interesting foods you get to eat!! i love that skirt, too!
ReplyDeleteAww the cute sheepies!
ReplyDeleteAw I love those shoes, and all your pics! Your on my list of favourite blogs by the way :) It's becuase I love your blog...obviously :)

Mmmm potato donut. I'm pretty much up for trying any type of donut and now I really really want donuts... Maybe I'll buy some tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteA farm show?! Cool! You look lovely :)

Fun! Love your skirt!
ReplyDeleteFirst off: potato donut??? That already sounds wrong.:D And what's with black sheep dressed in white, isn't that racist in a way??:) I love your hair, really, your haircut is perfect!
ReplyDeletePotato donut?? Oh Katherine, you know I need to try that one. Haha I love that you took photos in front of sheep. Also, I want this skirt. I love it every time you wear it. And to answer your question, yes, my sister-in-law used to take my phots back when I first started. That's why they used to look amazing and now they look...not to amazing haha
ReplyDeleteOMG I think I just drooled! Potatoes make for some tasty surprises... think potato bread (so soft!) and gnocchi. Yum. I think we both have a love for food!

This looks like suuuch a fun time!!! I love going to things like this, it's fun to see the animals (as long as you're not allergic)
ReplyDeleteYour skirt is awesome, I love me a good striped skirt

That skirt is beyond cute! I love your farm show outfit. I'm guessing your casual was dressy to everyone else there. And I'm definitely intrigued by this potato doughnut. I am not normally a fan but I feel compelled to try one!

The potato doughnut sounds intriguing!
ReplyDeletePoor Jason! Well the photos came out lovely and that donut looks amazing ;)
ReplyDeletethat is too funny, I can definitely see people thinking you were a bit over dressed for the farm show, but only because as you said many people do in sweats & it's ok because you look amazing!! I love the flair the wedges add & the coat over that cute skirt. you're the best at winter layers! too bad about jason's allergies but always fun to try something new : ) oh, and were the donuts filled w/ potatoes or made from potatoes? i got excited for a min thinking it was a gluten free thing i could eat but i suppose if it were all potatoes that would just be a big french fry.....

HA! This post made me laugh, just because I spent YEARS avoiding the Farm Show. Except for the milkshakes, gosh those things are amazing. We had kids that we be gone from school for the whole week because of Farm Show - oh rural high schools. Plus, Farm Show always equals snow. Bleck. But, I have to say that I kind of missed it this year going back to school early. Oh, nostalgia. Hope you had fun!

I have always wanted to go to a big festival like this!!! I recently learned that butter sculpting is an art...I had no idea! Maybe next year I'll venture out to Harrisburg! I'm only in lower New York!
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit too btw! =)

Potato doughnut - sounds delicious! And you look great in that Anthro skirt!

Hi! I saw your comment on Rebecca's post about the Star Barn and I had to drop by because I am a neighbor! I've also taken pix there and at this Farm Show! Love your hair, following you~
ReplyDeleteThe Occasional Indulgence
I just found your blog today, and I love it! Really like your style and your cute dogs.
ReplyDeleteLove your bag! This post is funny to me 'cause I grew up around farms. I'm within walking distance of horses, goats, donkeys, cows, and chickens. I tried to bury my southern-ness growing up but I've finally accepted and grown to love it. Come visit the south and you can get fried anything... Chicken gizzards, mmm. :) (just kidding.)
ReplyDeleteI remember studying butter sculpture in art history in college and I've always wanted to see it in person since then. So cool!

You look adorable as usual and I love that coat! I enjoy farm shows even though it makes me a bit sorrowful for the animals- and, ahem, even though I am a meat-eater! Oh no! -Jess
ReplyDeleteFrom what you've said about your town, this festival sums it up pretty great. Your skirt is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHa! What a fun outing. I want to see butter sculptures.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. Eep! Sorry about the allergy flare up! Are the sheep covered in something? When you wrote When in Rome I immediately thought of the song The Promise. Oh my! The days of new wave music! :)
ReplyDeleteaw man this sounds so fun! I would totally plan a weekend around something like this.
