The Mini Fair!

Always an event that we look forward to! The Mini Fair is a chance to show off our town and to share the delight of all things miniature with our guests.
This year Homesteaders worked throughout the fourth week to prepare for "our big party." Rides were created, signs were painted, and excitement built as the big day neared. This year we changed things: we held the Mini Fair from 10 - 12 on a Saturday, rather than on the usual (rainy) Thursday.
We donned our usual goofy gear (coordinating clashing clothes is our favorite party gear), selected locations for rides and hammered in signs.
Visitors arrived and made insta-Peeps, then visited rides and other attractions. The mini-snow cones were a big hit, as well as the GINORMOUS foods available at the bake sale.

Insta-Peeps!
People really got into Peep-making this year. Many spent the better part of an hour!
