I think the exhibit I would most like to have seen was the variety of exhibits on the Pike...a Blarney Castle, a Parisian fashion show, and a visit to the North Pole...these exhibits really caught my attention! I would also enjoy seeing the Palace of Electricity! It looks so beautiful, especially at night! The baby incubators would also be fascinating to see! Your book, Meet Me at the Fair sounds sooo good! I LOVE historical Christian fiction!! It's my favorite genre to read. I'm really intrigued to find out Laurel's story! Thank you for a chance to win this book!! ~Alison Boss<br /><br />nj(dot)bossman(at)gmail(dot)comAlison Bosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04302948293605454971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-4604951042960379102018-04-11T19:53:35.881-04:002018-04-11T19:53:35.881-04:00Here's my email address I forgot to add; maril...Here's my email address I forgot to add; marilynridgway78[at]gmail[dot[com Marilyn R. https://www.blogger.com/profile/05823250623223816968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-13839097604951840352018-04-11T19:52:54.874-04:002018-04-11T19:52:54.874-04:00This was a great post, Martha.

Our county has an annual county fair filled with 4-H exhibits, livestock, textiles, etc, along with rides, tractor pull and horse racing. I enjoy visiting the exhibit halls. Illinois still has a State Fair but I haven't been there for years.

I always had to have a corn dog and a funnel cake at the fair. We haven't been to the Texas State Fair for a long time because of the prices. Thanks for dropping by.Martha W.

They had Public School Day and we went in for free. Then I took groups of FHA girls when I taught home economics on 4H, FFA and FHA day. In school days, the Midway attracted us, but as a teacher and an adult, I was more interested in the exhibits. I always had to have a corn dog and a funnel cake though. :) Thanks for dropping by.Martha W.
