COUNTRY LIVING FAIR 2007

I've somehow lost the slide show of my Country Living Fair 2007 and can't get it back on here. I managed to post a collage of Country Living 2007 photos.

I'd like to share some photos from the Country Living Fair 2007, which was held at the Workshops of David T. Smith - a perfect setting. Fortunately for me, the area is not far from my home in southwest Ohio. I'd debated about going because the weather was hot and I was sure the traffic would be horrendous, which it was. The main road leading to the show was a rural two-lane and traffic was backed up for miles. Once I arrived at the venue, the parking and facilities left something to be desired, but The Country Living staff did their best to adjust to the fact they had under-estimated how popular the show would be in that area, which is a little east of Waynesville. Still, I was glad I decided to attend the show and I look forward to attending this year's show.

I tried to capture the essence of FALL in the photos. Generally, vendors aren't happy when people take pictures of their booths, and I always honor their wishes, but the people I asked didn't seem to mind. I was simply taking in all the wonders of this mostly primitive gathering. I hope these photos help you get into the mood for spiced cider, pumpkins, and crisp cool air. I'm not a vendor or a promoter of any sort. I just hope some of you will take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful fall show.

This year, COUNTRY LIVING has chosen a bigger venue for the show. I'm glad to report that it's still in Ohio, but this time, historic Ohio Village will be the location. Ohio Village is located off I-71 north, at Exit 111 and is across from the Ohio State Fairgrounds. The dates: SEPTEMBER 12, 13, and 14 - from 10am to 5pm each day.

ADMISSION: One day: $12.00/$10 in advance
WEEKEND PASS: $20 door/$15.00 in advance
EARLY BIRD SPECIAL PASS: $30 in advance only - enter Friday and/or Saturday at 9am and beat the crowd.
