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.
