I can’t believe it is one week until the Washington Parish Free Fair! I have always loved Fair time, because back in the day it was actually cool, and you could wear the cutest fall clothes. Nowadays it seems like you have to wear shorts and t-shirts, and nearly sweat to death.
I have so many fond memories of the fair, from staying in Paw Paw’s and Maw Maw’s camper, showing sheep, listening to dad and his friends pick and grin on the porches in Mile Branch, hanging out on the Jones Cabin porch, and visiting with family and friends. Fair time is FAMILY time!
Congratulations to Jace and Cameron Robertson Ball! They were married over the weekend at The Barn at Bridlewood in Hattiesburg. It was a beautiful wedding with lots of memories being made.
