I recently wrote about Betty Neal Byford and her great accomplishments at the Warren County Fair in McMinnville.  In the previous article, I mentioned that Betty won 92 ribbons for her garden produce along with jams, jellies and other items.
She later told me her winnings actually came to 100 ribbons.  Betty amazes me as a hard worker and how much she loves to do things for other people.  I must say that Grady and Jean Neal did a wonderful job raising their family. 
I know that Jean has been a wonderful friend to me for many years, and her children are just as nice.  As I think about Betty and her participation in the Warren County Fair, I am reminded of how much we always enjoyed going to that fair.
For many years, the Warren County Fair was one of the top fairs in Tennessee; winning many honors.  I remember we had a 1949 Chevrolet pickup and on Saturday night, we would load up and head out. 
That pickup was packed full with folks sitting in and on the truck bed.  It probably was dangerous with so many riding in the back of that pickup, but we just never gave thought to it.  Of course, today we would not be allowed to carry folks that way.
One of the first places I would head once at the fairgrounds was the agricultural area where all the top items were displayed: from canned goods to fresh produce. 
It was fun to see all the "Blue Ribbon Winners.”
When Betty Byford told me about all of her winning ribbons, my mind went back to those memories that I have from attending the Warren County Fair.
