It was so fun to see the creative ways folks have put their Carhartt to use. People really get into doctoring up those ol' Alaskan standard work wear. One contestant wasn't even human, that's right- one lady entered her dog (and won second place!)
The kids, as always, were adorable. Some were shy, some were total hams, including one little guy who was decked out head to toe in hard hat, safety goggles, tools and work boots.
One of my favorite entries was the Carhartt Bride. Showing her true, home grown, Alaska spirit, she modeling a Carhartt wedding gown-with matching white hard hat.
Carhartt has been such an amazingly generous sponsor to me, that I was quick to jump at the chance to be a part of this event. I had a great time visiting with folks at the fair and sharing some of the things I love so much about our great state. Special thanks to the State Fair Volunteer Department for making my experience so stress-free: I greatly appreciated their complimentary parking and admission as well as the meal voucher they provided me (let's hear it for salmon quesadillas!) Also, I'd like to send out a shout out to the ladies who so graciously gave me a free order of Cheese Curds! And, thank you, too God for keeping that giant rainstorm from hitting the fairground til I was walking to my car and heading home :)
