TEMPLE HILL — The Barren County Fair featured a room full of homemade and home-grown crafts and food Friday morning.
The Floral Hall Exhibit competition had several categories for people to enter, including canned items, woodworking, textiles (quilts, crocheted items and clothing for example), home-grown produce, baked goods, other crafts like scrapbooks and framed pictures and, of course, flowers in arrangements and single vases.
Laura Lovins, who was helping people get entries in for the textiles section, also entered her own machine-stitched quilt.
“We also get clothing, accessories — purses, scarves, jewelry. In the homemakers category, they also have crocheted items and accessories,” Lovins said.
One entrant, Edie Bell, had something in just about every category, including 22 items for produce, fresh out of her garden, woodworking, holiday decorations, a drawing and painting, antique toys and various flowers.
“It takes days to get this all together,” Bell said. “A year of planning.”
The baked good section had a lot of visitors.
“It makes you wish you ate before you came,” Gay Vines commented while placing entry cards on various cakes and cookies.
The exhibit was busy, but slower than in previous years, many said.
“It’s a little bit smaller this year,” Lovins said. “ We did change the rules a little and we have no idea how that’s going to effect this. We thought last year would be small because of the gas prices, but we did pretty good last year. There’s less here this year than last.”
Another event scheduled for Friday was canceled.
The Horse Show was scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday, but was posponed due to the track being muddy from the past rainfall. The show will be rescheduled for a later date that was not determined as of Saturday morning.
In lieu of watching the horses, some attendees took part in the karaoke contest, including Emily Stephens, who sang a Taylor Swift song as part of the 12 and under category.
