10- RIDES: 14 rides, and a 50-foot ferris wheel is certain to keep your whole family entertained for hours!

9- COMPETITIVE EXHIBITS: Do you make a killer apple pie? A mouthwatering strawberry jam? Are your zucchini growing exceptionally well this year? Enter them in the fair! Be sure to stop by the Monday before the fair begins with your entries. Who knows? Maybe you'll win a ribbon and a cash prize! Note: There has been a new category added this year- Children's Artwork Ages Pre-K through 7th Grade.

8- PET AND LIVESTOCK SHOWS: Throughout the week different animals will be shown. Cows, sheep, goats, dogs, poultry, and small critters. Sign up now to show your favorite furry or feathered friend!

7- LADIES FRYING PAN TOSS: Note: this pan is NOT light. It is cast iron, so ladies, be careful!

6- HANDSOME MAN CONTEST: Wash, trim, wax and style those mustaches and beards! You know you've wanted to show off your facial masterpiece for the county to see for a while now, so I say, go for it.

5- K-9 FRISBEE DOGS SHOW: The Frisbee Dogs, will perform throughout the duration of the fair. Stop by and enjoy these amazing, acrobatic friends. And know, they love to invite participants from the audience.

4- PETTING ZOO: Do your children adore animals? In addition to the livestock and small critters show, the Little Critters Traveling Petting Zoo will be set up for children of all ages to enjoy.

3- BMX SHOW: One of my kids favorite events is the Dialed Action Sports Team. It doesn't matter which day you attend since the BMX bikers will be performing all four days.

2- The HARVESTER STAGE: A wide variety of professional bands will be performing on the stage throughout the event ranging from gospel to bluegrass to folk. Additionally, an open stage will be available to past and present residents of Franlin County in fifteen minute slots, pre-registration is required.

1- RIDE THE COOL BUS: If you homeschool like we do, then it's possible that your kids rarely, if ever, find themselves inside of a school bus. What's better than a school bus? The TNT Auto Body Cool Bus! Park across the street and travel in style in one of the shuttles. If you're lucky, the shuttle you grab might be the legendary Cool Bus.

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too! Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

Truck-Themed Homeschool Chore Chart

Use this truck-themed homeschool chore chart to keep your kids on track throughout the school week. With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly. At times, kids are excited for the new opportunity to help out around the house and do it with joy. Other times they stomp toward the trash can with anything but a good attitude. Help keep attitudes in check by using stickers, smiley faces, or positive verbal reinforcement as your child completes each task on the chart. For the child who loves lists (and the mom) this is the perfect free printable to have on hand! (Simply right-click, save, and print)

I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
