There is a lot of behind the scenes work done by the 4-H Leaders Association to spiffy up the 4-H-related areas for the Cumberland County Fair in September. The girls and I made time this year to lend a hand with the cleaning of the 4-H hall and spent an hour at the fairgrounds yesterday.

We only made a small contribution to the cleaning effort by washing windows ...

... and the display shelves.

Later in the car on the way home the kids were chatting about how much they were looking forward to the fair this year, especially working in the food booth.

It may be that summer is almost over and school stuff is starting but for my kids, September is a month to look forward to because it's all about having fun at the fair.
