News Outlook August 16, 2012 -15
One big event ends
and another begins. Grat-
ed, the Kentucky State Fair
isn't as huge as the 30th
Olympiad but it's pretty
big nonetheless. There
are acts of all kinds, sport-
ing events, and, of course,
the competitions for best-
of-the-best-in-the-Bluegrass
among cooks, gardeners,
farmers, 4-H'ers, horsemen
and more.
Have you entered
anything in competition
this year that earned you
a spot among State Fair
contenders? You never
know where such things
might lead, including find-
ing your name in the pages
of a book. That happened
to more than one needle-
crafter when Valerie Van
Arsdale Shrader decided
to shine a spotlight on
Blue Ribbon Afghans From
America's State Fairs - 40
Prize-Winning Crocheted
Designs. Not only did the
afghans make it into the
book, so did their creators,
who included the direc-
tions on how to copy their
work. According to the au-
thor, "competitive events at
the state fair were designed
for inspiration and innova-
tion, to reward quality and
creativity..." The afghans
pictured here fit that bill
to a '." They're all beauti-
ful, but there are standouts,
even among the best. The
Baby Rings afghan on page
54, the Irish afghan on page
67, Victorian Elegance on
page 99, Rainbow Waves
on page 115, and Hugs &
Kisses on page 133 will
have you reaching for your
wallet to buy one, or itching
to jump in and put your own
talents to work.
As beautiful as those
afghans are, none from
the Kentucky State Fair
apparently made the cut.
Bluegrass quilts, on the
other hand, have a book all
to themselves with Mary
Washington Clarke's Ken-
tucky Quilts and Their
Makers. These aren't nec-
essarily from our State Fair,
but they're representative
of what Kentucky quilters
produced over a 150 year
period that ended in 1976
when this book was pub-
fished. Since then, things
have gone from traditional
patterns to all kinds of
quilted art and creativity.
As the author says, "Ken-
tucky quilts show the inter-
mingling of old and new in
the grassroots continuity
of an ancient craft that re-
sponds to fads and fashions
by absorbing and refining
them." So, follow the inspi-
ration of the tried and true,
or venture into the realm
of imagination and create
your own quilted pattern
or picture to'enter in next
year's fair.
So, if you compete at
the county fair level, which
categorydo you enter? For
lots of people, it's food of
one sort or another. Linda
J. Amendt zeroed in on the
canned kind in Blue Rib-
bon Preserves - Secrets
to Award-Winning Jams,
Jellies, Marmalades and
More. This book is full of
her prize-winning, recipes,
but she also goes into the
things that make hers win-
ners, and the nitty-gritty
facts that you need to know
if you're new at this particu-
lar art...that inchides easily
avoided mistakes that can
get your entries disquali-
fied. • Now, how would you
like to try entering next
year's competition with
something like Garlic &
Onion Jam, Bartlett Pear
Marmalade, Raspberry
Curd, Horseradish Jelly,
Rosemary Wmegar, Pecan
Praline Sauce, German
Red Cabbage, Zucchini
Hckles, or Green Tomato
Mincemeat? That last one
is worth thinking about
when the first frost is about
to bite all those green to-
matoes still hanging on the
vine.
If none of that lights
your creative fires, find a
fair catalog and see whafs
in the crafts sections, then
look to books like Phyllls
Your Hometown Newspaper
Newv00
By Linda Denton
George (Brown's) Ken-
tucky Crafts- Handmade
and Heartfelt to see what
kind of competition you
might run into. This Ken-
tucky first lady was looking
for quality in all kinds of
places and found an abun-
dance in Wood and Furni-
ture, Textiles and Quilts,
Glass and Ceramics, Bas-
kets, Metal, Folk Art and
More. These people,are
the artists whose abil-
ity, dedication, and quality
work sent them from the
status of amateur to money-
making professional..
If you aren't up for
competition, crowds, or
a trip to Louisville, you
can do some arm-chair
fair-going with Stephanie
Darst's One Hundred Ken-
tucky State Fairs - A Pic-
torial History and maybe
refresh old memories of
those you or your family
attended in years past, or,
if you've never been at all,
to see what you've been
missing all these years and
how things have changed
over the decades. Chap-
ters include Kentucky's
Fairgrounds; the Best of
Field, Flock or Herd; The
Stage for World's Champi-
ons - the Kentucky State
Fair Horse Show;, Blue Rib-
bon Entries; Better Babies,
Brunettes, and Marching
Bands - Contests & Races
at the Fair;, The Freest En-
tertainment; Watch or Ride
- The Kentucky State Fair
Midway; Everything on a
Stick- The Culinary Tradi-
tions of the Kentucky State
Fair.
Old movie buffs might
prefer Hollywood's his-
toric versions over the real
thing, in which case, there
are the two versions of Rog-
ers & Hammerstein's mu-
sical, State Fair. The first,
released in 1945 starred
Jeanne Crain and Dana An-
drews and is on VHS. The
other is a twofer on disk in
the form of the 60th Anni-
versary celebration of the
movie, which has both the
original and the 1962 re-
make starring Pat Boone
and Anne Margaret. It's
the same basic story with
different actors and set in
different times.
Book lovers, of course,
prefer the written word
and, as usual, there's some-
thing there too, in this
case in large print. Earlene
Fowler's State Fair is a
Benni Harper book which
finds the mystery-solving
folk-art-museum-curator /
rancher at the San Celina
Mid-State Fair where she
revels in all the things that
attract so many to fairs,
"caramel apples, 4-H calves,
exquisite quilts, and home-
made jams"...and one
thing that definitely doesn't
attract.., murder.., which,
as you might have guessed,
is exactly what Benni finds
herself in the midst of.
Visit your local li-
brary and join in the fun
of the Kentucky State Fair
in whatever mode you can
manage.
