C & I took in the Kentucky State Fair on its last day Sunday before last and had a lot of fun. The last day is really not the best time to go to see the animals and exhibits, but we had tickets to see comedian Jeff Dunham so that is when we went. The show was great, but I did miss seeing the animals.
Most of the exhibits were still on display so we walked around for a couple of hours looking at those. I will warn you…this is going to be a photo heavy post. The balloon art was the first thing we saw upon entering and it had a UK/UofL basketball theme. When we left that night, they were popping all of the balloons.
We headed to the culinary section first and I found all of my entries in the cases. There was also some gorgeous decorated cakes as well.
We both loved the Angry Birds cupcakes. The modeling work was spot-on!
There are always beautiful award winning quilts and woodworking on display as well.
Finally…the photography. This was the winner in the category that I entered which was color nature photography.
Here I am with my entry of a wild Tom turkey in front of an old house in a field.
C found a new toy, but he didn’t get to bring it home.
The midway was still in full swing as we were leaving the Jeff Dunham show so I pulled over to get a few shots of the lit rides. The lights were so pretty!
C & I had a fun time at the Kentucky State Fair and will hopefully be back next year!

A few weeks ago, C & I had the opportunity to visit the Yew Dell Botanical Garden in Crestwood, Kentucky and had a wonderful time. They have a neat history and I invite you to visit their site for the history and a list of the many events they hold there. I won’t take up much room on my post for that because I have many photos to share with you, and, yes, that is a warning!! Caution: extreme amount of photos ahead!
Crestwood is a suburb community of Louisville, KY and the trip from downtown to the garden takes about 30 minutes depending on the amount of traffic. We turned in and spotted their unique entry gate and sign:
We parked and began looking for the entrance so we could purchase tickets and it is located in this barn. Looks are deceiving in this instance because there is a nice air-conditioned gift shop in there.
There was a sculpture exhibition going on at the garden and most of the artwork was for sale, but it was a little pricey for our checkbook.
Yeah, you are reading that correctly. We made sure not to break anything! Here comes the photo deluge. Don’t say I didn’t warn you…
Doesn’t everyone have a castle in their backyard? I loved this!
Beautiful views from the lookout above:
This space was an edible garden.
The tree lined allees were gorgeous.
You eyes aren’t deceiving you. That IS a giant ball made of tires.
We really enjoyed our trip to Yew Dell and highly recommend it for any garden lovers out there.
