Ruthie's Last County Fair

It was a bittersweet weekend. I have loved taking my kids back to the old county fair every year to see my niece show her chickens and turkeys and let them ride the carnival rides, enjoy the petting zoo, and selfishly force them to attend the rodeo. It makes for a long and eventful day. And this weekend was, sadly, our last. I asked Ruthie if she’d be up for a quick photoshoot to commemorate it, and she was game! :) This girl was busy on Saturday, so by quick, I mean quick. She really had to squeeze this in.

There’s an outfit on my hometown that appears to be specializing in these types of county fair photos, and I have just been so inspired by what they are doing. Just such an adorable concept! I think I took about 200 photos of Ruthie blowing into shavings to get just a few keepers. :)

We walked over to the rodeo arena thinking we’d have to sneak in there, but they were kind enough to let us walk on in and do what we wanted!

These photos were so much fun to take! Congratulations on all your successes at the Fair this year Ruthie! We’ll sure miss going back every year.
