The May Fair is the oldest state fair in California, in continuous operation annually for 135 years, right here in little old Dixon (population 17,000.) I entered chocolate chip cookies in the baking contest this year and won a blue ribbon--all I can see here is a waste of 3 good cookies since they were thrown out after the Fair. :)

Our church entered a float in the parade, and also won a blue ribbon. The theme of the parade was "California-the melting pot" so that is why the kids on the float are dressed up in costumes representing different countries.
The Bible and Cross were on a rotating platform.
The orange tissue paper flowers under the cross are supposed to be California poppies, our state flower.
Can you see the California state flag on the wall behind our band? That's chicken wire stuffed with a kajillion squares of different colored tissue paper to create the flag--it looked awesome.
