2023 State Fair Quilt Challenge

 

Heather and I (and Heather’s wheelchair) had several errands to run Thursday morning, but we managed to finish most of them by 10:30. We took the blue train downtown, grabbed a couple of salmon tacos for lunch, and hopped the green train to the state fair park. There were several people waiting to buy tickets at the gate, but the Internet connection in the ticket booth wasn’t working. We stood in full sun half an hour (most of us had clearly dressed for air conditioning) before the attendant realized she had a pen and several pieces of paper. She could take cash and write tickets! We made a beeline to the building where home arts are displayed, but it wasn’t open. A harried woman at the door said they’d “had issues” and likely wouldn’t open at all that day. I felt like sitting down and crying. Instead, I asked permission to dart inside and take a single photo.
