Staying busy ( and out of trouble) at the Fair while Lin gets to help Vickey Ritchie by being on a panel of judges…

First things First, I think this Rooster 🐓 would fit in nicely with our four Big Foot creatures that stay at our place in Laurel Fork.

A great deal of time and care went into creating this display !

Another connection to our group.
I’m not sure why, but this makes me think about Travis Osborne…..

Just had to sneak into the ” Judges Chamber ” for a quick look see 👀.

A local fair is such a large part of Americana, and this week should be a fun one here on The Hill…..

Thank you to Vickey Ritchie for the invite for Lin, but that is a part of Vickey being Vickey.

One of the best lines about the dedication level of Vickey came from her longtime friend and neighbor, Brandi Cochran Mitchell.

” Everything that Vickey does is the biggest thing that she does.”

Turns out one of the other judges is kin to Allen Worrell….

When one of your dream team turns one year older you have to take a moment to say Happy Birthday 🎂🥳 ! We see 👀 you, Jay Neal, and I hope you are having a Great Day up north!!

Degree #1 came at Virginia Tech University, where he played football. Fun note, VT narrowly edged out Duke University on signing day.

Degree #2 was the law degree from William and Mary, but it’s the depth and wisdom that set Jay apart from most. We will assume that has something to do with his upbringing !

One of six people who God put in my path that allowed me to have the life that I enjoy !
