it’s Labour Day weekend and the Saanich Fair is back for the 148th year
the weather was good and the crowds were happy
except for some in the parking lots
patience is a virtue, folks!
the animals were better behaved than some of the humans
I have a special fondness for the donkeys
despite the signs it is amazing the number of people who insist on sticking their hands in pens
pat this llama if you must
don’t you love the knitted leggings?

the Victoria and Deep Cove Weaver’s Guilds were there
weaving and spinning
the textile crafts and needlework have their own display room
I had the pleasure of judging the spinning this year
and the children’s weaving
this piece won a special prize
( sorry I forgot to make a note of the young girl’s name)
some of the chickens are a work of art
the bunnies are a crowd favorite
that’s it
I was too busy having fun to take any more pictures
i haven’t gone to a fair in years. it’s about time…
