MiFi at My Fair
It worked! So now I can confidently announce that I will be blogging a little differently at this year’s Clark County Fair. Yay!! Just to shake things up a bit and to maybe catch a few more zzzz’s each night after The Fair, I am going to give “live blogging” a whirl. My hope, plan, […]
And the wine winner is…
Well, that was fun! A few of the 25-ish judges are still milling around, chatting about wine making and fruit sources and the differences between meads and wine.

The Columbian has a cool new website and blogger page since last year’s Fair. Yay! However, since I am not a year-round blog, it’s pretty tricky to find me. Boo! Due to technical short-comings, there is really no easy way to find “It’s the FAIR!” unless you know the link (here it is for future […]
I’m back! And so are free tix from Fred Meyer!
Greetings Fellow Fair Fans!! Only 15 days, 14 hours, 52 minutes, and 26 seconds until The Best Time of the Year officially begins! Yes, folks, that’s right…the Clark County Fair is almost here! I am thrilled to be blogging again for The Columbian. I’ve got a couple surprises for this year’s Fair Blogging Adventure; more […]
