The Cherry Fair!






we went to Oregon to visit my aunt and we helped her with The Annual Cherry Fair! Talking about feeling like you lived in the movie "Charlotte's Webb" we have always loved the small town life! I think if Jimmy could find a job we'd be moving there!

The Fair consisted of a community breakfast than a parade! The girls were on the Cherry Fairy Float... (so dang cute!) Then there was games, raffles for quilts, homemade treats, the most amazing fresh squeezed lemonade we've EVER had in our lives, the Piggy train, Cherry Pie eating contest, Cherry Pit spitting contest, Cherry Cooking Contest, there was pulled pork sandwiches for lunch, corn on the cobb and coleslaw and Cherry Pie, than for dinner there were beans, more corn and Cherry glazed chicken halves & Cherry Cobbler for dessert! Jimmy BBQ'd ALL the chicken halves, almost 300 of them! It was 109 degrees, record breaking heat that day for this little town in Oregon but you would not have known it. Everyone was out for the event.

Auntie Sherry had the girls special Cherry dresses to wear all day and they loved them! We had the most amazing time! It sure was a day to remember and we can't wait to go back...
