The Clallam County Fair began Aug. 19, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. in Port Angeles, WA and ended Aug. 22, 2010, at 7:00 p.m. What a time it was for my wonderful volunteers: Richard & Nancy Carey, Cheri Lemley, Debbie & Kim Coté, my sister Lyn Walls, my daughter and granddaughter Laura and Ella. Best of all, Ann Luke brought a beautiful 3-leaf waterfall made from rhubard leaves to enhance the beauty of the garden's booth.
We handed out Sugar Snap Peas for samples and the looks of amazement on everyone's face when they bit into the pea and the sweet taste was incredible. We explained how the U-Pick Garden operates; how the Dahlia Garden works, 'when' the Digging, Dividing and Storing Seminar will be held (Sept. 18, 2010 at 1:00 p.m.) and gave abreviated demonstrations with a clump of tubers. The targets on the back wall were used by our many booth visitors to WIN a free dahlia tuber by throwing a velcro coated ping-pong ball and getting it to stick to the target--very popular. All-in-all, we had a great time!!
Best of all: "Jan's Country Garden was over-whelmingly voted as the Best Booth in the Ag Barn during the entire fair," Mary Black, Barn Superintendent.
