Good Luck Paige!

Best wishes to our very own Miss Hancock County, Paige Carroll! She is competing this weekend for Miss Indiana State Fair. 

Good Luck Paige! 

Photo Session with Dawn

Sunday morning just hours after being crowned the Hancock County 4-H Fair Queen Paige and her mother spent some time with our professional photographer, Dawn Wallace (The Photography Barn) http://thephotographybarn.blogspot.com/ and https://www.facebook.com/ThePhotographyBarn

Dawn is incredibly talented.  I'm always amazed at her ideas and how she can pull together beautiful scenery from a fence post on the fairgrounds.  She makes everything work and it is like we traveled elsewhere!  Her ideas are endless....

Take a look at Dawn and Paige's Sunday morning photo session.

A view from the Court...

Throughout the week I asked the girls on our Court to take pictures and send them my way.  They definitely came through!  Wow!  My phone was overloaded every day with new pictures of their daily adventures.  So much fun to see all the people they met and shows they attended.

Check out the view from their week...

We are VERY thankful for a wonderful week with the girls.  They were all sweet, kind, and caring and made our jobs extremely easy.  They were a wonderful representative of Hancock County and we are proud of each and every one of them!

More from the fair...

The girls are having a blast getting to know ALL parts of the fair this week. I'm sure by Friday evening they will be ready to rest all weekend. Enjoy a look inside our fair from the view of a Queen's Court member! 

Fair Week

We have had an amazing fair week so fair.  These ladies always have a smile on their face and are willing and ready to do whatever is asked of them.  We are so fortunate to have a great group of girls representing the Hancock County 4-H Fair!
