IT'S FAIR WEEK!
It's fair week in my town! Literally everything stops as we celebrate harvest and community! THE WEST LAMPETER COMMUNITY FAIR is just what it's title says... it's all about the people! I bet almost everyone in my area attends the fair, participates in the fair, competes in the fair or helps in some way....
I have had the honor of being a judge for the fair queen competition for the last several years. The fair queen contestants come from top-notch girls in the local high school. The competition is friendly but fierce over a two day period!
The crown our queen wears is not for beauty... but for service! Our queen serves our community in many and various ways over the year she reigns... and is a role model. She is beloved and idolized by every little girl in town!
My daughter had the honor of being the West Lampeter Fair Queen and then went on to the state competition winning the State Fair Queen tile... and Miss Congeniality! This was a life changing for Jacqueline .... it's value and breadth of experience helped to mold her into the young woman she is today!
I hope the competition experience grows and stretches and matures each young lady competing this year. I pray that each girl has a positive experience that they will always remember! That is why I am a part of it!
The West Lampeter Fair is a real slice of Americana, for sure! If you live in the area... come on out... enjoy homespun fun and great local food... and be a part of my wonderful community for a day!

Paula from CALL ME PMC made these delicious and very easy OATMEAL COOKIE AND CREAM CHEESE BARS by "doctoring the box". Gotta love those recipes!
Oh my sweet tooth must be acting up again! Here is another beautiful sweet treat from THE KITCHEN IS MY PLAYGROUND. This PEAR WALNUT CRISP is company worthy!
Susan and Bentley at ASH TREE COTTAGE brought soup to TTT last week. SENATE BEAN SOUP is the perfect meal as the nippy air of fall comes to stay! I'm putting this soup ON THE MENU soon!
Now back to sweets.... just look at this CARAMEL APPLE TEA CAKE from Tamatha at A FLOCK IN THE CITY. All together now.... ooooohhhh, aaaaaaahhh, YUM!
Here is another warm-your-tummy soup. LIGHT CREAMY CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP from LITTLE MOMMY, BIG APPETITE not only looks luscious but is a light version, so it's good for us too!
I try to eat seafood one or two times a week. My dear blogging friend Sam at MY CAROLINA KITCHEN makes that easy with recipes like PAN FRIED TILAPIA WITH TOMATO BASIL SAUTE'. Art on a plate!
This week I'm sharing 23 homemade soup recipes that I love to make all year long... but they seem to taste just a little better when the cool weather sets in. Visit SOUPS ON and maybe you will find a new favorite!
This week's featured menu plan comes from Alison at UNDER THE BIG OAK TREE. She had several recipes that I'm hoping to try! Very yummy!
