Fair Days

I've been spending a lot of time at The Real Estate Store's booth at Montrose, CO's County fair. Don't forget to drop by and say hello!
At the booth. Stop by for some great tips!
It's a kid friendly fair! (Of course!)

There is no shortage of excitement at the booths. 

After dropping by the booth, I bet you will be surprised how often you'll see my name around town! 

Here is the schedule in case you need it.

Don't miss out, there is only a week left to enjoy the Montrose County Fair, in beautiful Montrose, CO. Stop by the booth and say hello!

Meet Me in St. Louis, Louis, Meet Me at the Fair

Ok, so St. Louis is a little far to travel to a fair, especially when Montrose, CO has a pretty spectacular one of it's own. How do you know this, you might ask? Well, because I have been attending it for quite a while, as both a participant (I showed horses as a teenager) and as an observer. Yes friends, before my wonderful job at The Real Estate Store, I was once upon a time, a girl who embraced the ranch and farming lifestyle.  Though I prefer my current lifestyle as a real estate agent at one of the new and budding agencies in Montrose, I still enjoy a good trip to Montrose's County Fair.
Yes, that's me,  a few (okay, more than a few) years ago. 
I have been attending the fair in Montrose, CO for so long that even my children have participated in it.

My three children participated in everything from the children's tractor pulling, to showing sheep.

The fair has always been one of my favorite events, as a community is brought together. There are so many activities, so don't fool yourself into it's not for me. There is a Kid Day, and, drumroll please: a BACON day! Check out the whole line up, and look for me and some exciting opportunities at the Real Estate Store booth. I won't meet you in St. Louis, but I will meet you at the fair!

Symmetry, Stories and more!

Do you like symmetry? How about a good story? Well, you all know my passion for my job, especially since I've moved to The Real Estate store, which is downtown Montrose, but I have another deep seated passion. It's for quilts. 

I have been quilting since the early years of my life (which I refuse to reveal to you how long that has actually been). My children each have received at least one special quilt over their life, to commemorate special moments. My grandchildren (darnit, I am revealing more than I planned) each have a special quilt to illustrate their personalities. My husband has a special quilt to demonstrate some of his passions. And I, of course, have a good dozen or so of quilts. Some of them are older, passed down from generation to generation. Some are newer, to reflect some of my new favorite color schemes or pattern ideas. 

But my collection pales in comparison to the selection which will be on display at the Black Canyon Quilt Show. 

This beautiful quilt is this year's featured raffle quilt. 

Don't wait to check this show out, it will blow your mind with Montrose and surrounding area's amazing talent. The theme this year is "Traditional with a Twist." The show premiers at the Montrose Pavillion, and will start on July 11th through the 13th. Don't miss out on this annual event! Check out the Black Canyon Quilt Show's webpage for more information.
