We saw fireworks, got free ice cream, watched hucksters and hawkers, and some people rode rides. I didn&#8217;t have as much time with the quilts as I would have liked, but got some nice pictures and will have some time to look at them carefully later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to the San Mateo County Fair on Saturday.
