Narrative, Descriptions & Pictures

2011 Darke County Fair...

By Christy Riley
Teen Scribe

The first picture is of Jenna King and her pig “Big Daddy” who is a Bluebutt swine.

In the Domestic Art building, I took many random photos, such as ones of knitted quilts and blankets. In one picture, Marilyn Leisure is knitting a shawl while sitting in the Domestic Arts building (also called Grange Building.

My next stop took me to the Veterans Building where I chatted with WWII Veteran Joseph Henry. I was then told about the plaque and how it was 100 plus years old. It amazes me meeting WWII Vets because they are walking history books.

While inside, I talked with Micia Reed who is a Navy JRTOC and a pending officer 3rd class. What amazes me is how the there were veterans of all ages and even the next generation of soldiers were present. As a country, we must remember our troops and those who fight for us for without them, we have no America.

Having seen the Darke County Veterans Building, I checked out the Ohio Center: Spiritual Life Center where I took even more pictures and met new friends. While inside, I spoke to a woman who represents the Darke County Pregnancy Help Center and bought four brackets after I took her picture.

Soon after my visit there, I went to the Fine Arts Building where I took random photos. At 1:00 p.m., I had the privilege of seeing a painter paint her canvas.

I did some meandering where I took several pictures, inluding one of a little boy riding a vehicle carousel as he smiled at me.
