September Invasion!

 September is my UFO month. All spaceships. All month.

Star Trek ships soar overhead. The 8th is Star Trek Day.

Atop is Kenneth Arnold's Mt. Rainier sighting revisited...

My first hand-made UFO and Bigfoot thimbles. To the right is the Kecksburg monument.

Abductions are happening!!

Lots to see here, including the UFO I saw at my childhood home (center, kinda right).

Cow abduction taking place.

Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind.

Area 61. Yes, you read that correct.

War of the Worlds. UFO mountain. The tic-tac UAP in front.

The Lil Ale-in next to the ET highway. Cylindrical UFO over Seattle in the mountains.

Now you know where the Millenium Falcon is hidden.

The train hauls away a UFO.

Covington Mountain has its share of UFOs, although it consists of house shaped thimbles representing Sewing Month, which September is nationally. Can you spot the UFOs?

Bigfoot being "beamed" in.

A new addition to the Sewing Month is atop the mountain.

More Bigfoot...leaving the UFO in the grove.

UFO over Stonehenge.

Massive UFO gliding through.

The bar countertop entertains a crashed UFO on Mars.

Uh...pointing out the moon?

NASA Moon landing. But, what is that? An alien in his ship is watching. Oh, and a rocket to Saturn?

Creator of the solar system (LOL).

And on either side of that are all the ships in space.

                                     

UFO beaming down aliens into the forest. Bigfoot hiking out of there...

A wizard has found the "ancient alien."

And, just to keep things "normal," here's my National Sewing Month display.

Stay safe in September, and keep an eye on the sky!

My 2024 Fair Exhibits Details

The Skamania County Fair for 2024: Country Nights and Carnival Lights.

Since my fair exhibits were so full of details, I thought I would take pictures of them to show all the interesting things for those who maybe didn't get to see them and for me--for posterity since I won't keep these together.

Let's begin with the bigger of the two, which I absolutely loved.

COUNTRY SIGHTS & FAIR DELIGHTS

Closeup of the fair section.

The Beer Gardens and Axe Throw.

New creation was the auditorium--complete with singers and audience.

The Camping Area to the left of the fair section.

Lots of tiny sights.

One of the 3 Bigfoot on this one thimble.

One of those Bigfoot is eyeing the campers...

Bigfoot watching the person in the outhouse!

On to the Hidden Lake area above the Camping.

Cabin, canoer on the lake, and Mt. St. Helens in the background.

Woodsy thimble. It actually was between the Lake and the Town sections.

The Small Town area above the fair section.

A lodge and treehouses--based on the Skamania Lodge and its treehouses.

At the back was a paddlewheel riverboat.

Had a telecom. The semi is backing into the rear. Note the coil of wire!

The Crab Shack. Maybe some will remember it.

The Rock Creek Tavern. I included the important parts of that pub. There's the wagon...

...the Wings...

...the firepit, the tic, tac, toe with players. Even the bigfoot.

And, now I'll move on to my other exhibit:

OKTOBERFEST

A river runs through it. Looks like there's plenty of beer barrels on stock for this celebration!

Bell tower on the right.

The upper section...

Bigfoot overlooks it all. Satellite dish on that house, too.

I received a Blue ribbon--1st place--on each of these.
