Yesterday was Courtland California's Pear Fair for 2015. We have never been and thought it would be fun. Looked on Saturday to see what the agenda was. Started out with a 10 mile run at 8 a.m., a 5 mile run at 8:30 and a kid's run after that. Nope, nope, nope. Not interested. But it did have a pancake breakfast at 8 until 10:30. Okay, sounds good.
We got there around 9:30 and headed out to have breakfast. It was good, but boy was it slow getting to us. The sausage was about the best I have ever eaten. We each got a plate with two pancakes, two sausages, two pear haves and some blueberries. Yummy.
They also had a small car show. There were only three antique cars. Here is our favorite:

It is a Ford. |
After that we went to the school gym next door to see the quilt show. It was small but nice. Here are some of the quilts we saw:
|
Love the moose in the middle. The moose was cut out of Australian fabric. I thought that was funny. It really made him stand out, though. |
|
Hand embroidered teddy bears. |
|
Pattern is Whimsical Garden. I made one like it a few years ago. |
|
Love these dresses. They are done in 3-D. Very nice. |
|
This quilt was folded over the risers for display. Wish we could have seen the whole quilt. It was stunningly beautiful. |

My husband and I had a good time at the fair and show. It was quite small and quite hot there. We only stayed about 2 hours and most of that time was waiting for our breakfast. We plan on going next year. Note to self: go in SUV as the parking was in a very uneven field. Hard on the little car's underpinnings. Also bring home a box of pears to can. We walked out of there with no pears in hand. Silly us. May have to drive back into that area and find a fruit stand. Pears were in practically every field we went by.
Great day. Came home and took a nap after all that sun.
Keep on Quilting
