The Time I Spoke at the Country Living Fair – and the Day in Pictures!

June 13, 2014  Outings | Uncategorized

 

A Day at the Country Living Fair Rhinebeck NY - in Photos kellyelko.com

It was just me, Denise and a few sheep (cardboard cutouts that is) on stage at the Country Living Fair last weekend.

The audience was glued to their seats in anticipation of what amazing ideas we would present …

 

actually, I may have seen one or two people nodding off and  a few of them were most likely just there to take a seat out of the heat …

but in my mind, they were glued to their seats and I’m sticking to that story.

We talked about our favorite ways to get party ready.

That’s me in the back being attacked by sheep.

My favorites are my cupcake liner lights and my festive watermelon cocktail (recipe coming soon) …

as you can see, we don’t have time to bother with silly things like cups.

Of course, I was a total slacker and didn’t have time to take many pictures of the happenings at the fair but here are a few I managed to snap in between getting ready to present and gorging on a giant soft pretzel.

The Country Living Fair is a great way to spend the day and it’s held three times a year in Rhinebeck, NY, Columbus, OH and Atlanta, GA.

 

P.S. I’m happy to report that I did not get hit with any rotten tomatoes during my presentation!

 

Make sure to check out my pics from last year’s fair!

    I hate driving around/in Atlanta, but looks like that’s the closest fair for me to attend. When is it, I wonder? I’ll stock up on anti-anxiety meds so I’ll be able to go. Now who can I rope into doing the driving, I mean, CONVINCE, PERSUADE, OTHERWISE MANIPULATE into driving me…….

    So glad that you had a very successful Fair…loved the pictures; however, I think the doll art was a bit scary!…

    You two girls look gorgeous on stage, somehow I doubt anyone was nodding off, lol. That must have been so fun to give a presentation at the Country Living Fair!!! And what intersting items you spied around the fair, the loomed table, the mossy dog, the repurposed dolls, super cool stuff!

    Looks like a great time, Kelly. A Flea Market/Fair is never complete without a few scary doll parts! Are you going to the Country Living Fair in Columbus?

    I recently went to the Nashville Country Living Fair and saw the old wooden cot made with a rag bottom featured in one of your photos. I’m looking for the vendor of this booth. I was just wondering if you could lead me in that direction.
    Thank you
