Pumpkin Show & Ohio Farm Exhibition






The Ohio Farm Bureau's fourth annual "Growing a Masterpiece",
art exhibition will be shown at the Circleville Pumpkin Show,
October 15-18. The theme of the exhibit is"A Tip of the Hat to Ohio
Agriculture".
The Ohio Farm Bureau had straw hats transformed into artistic
representation of agriculture from each of the 88 counties in Ohio.
Voting for the Best of Show was held at the Ohio State Fair in July.
Artists used paper, fabric and paint to decorate the hats and there
were some marvelous and ingenious ideas used to transform the
straw hats.
All of the hats can be viewed on the Our Ohio website and voted
upon.

I checked...I didn't see a hat from my county. I really like the flower and pumpkin photo!
