Description

The Trumbull County Fair (Ohio) is a fun place to go -- free parking and reasonable admission fees that include most rides (just $3 for seniors) -- and this year we spent a couple of hours there on two days. Like most fairs, there are many competitions, including one for floral arrangements. It gave me a perfect opportunity to try out my new Canon SX10 camera. This is one of my favorite finds. Have a great week, everyone!

Thanks, everyone! Actually, the SX10 is a little too big to fit comfortably in my purse, Patricia -- although depending on where I'm headed, trust me, I'll get it in there! And yes, so far I'm happy that it's filling in a camera gap for me. #7710569
