"Memories of Shows gone by."

  What do I most recall,  maybe the Side Shows, the Cupie Dolls on their crook shaped sticks,fairy floss all of that and more.
   But it is the, before the day memories, the days of my Show Steward Nanna's, voice telling us, " It helps make a Show."
   So out would come the garden snippers, and all the bits and bobs  for flower entries. Saucers covered in wet cotton wool, pastel colored plates to be decorated, doilies to be be placed around posies.
   Tiny little flowers for the saucers, diosamas, for-get me nots, tiny leaves for around the border. All placed perfectly in patterns and circles, around and around we went. Posies starting from the center, a tiny rose bud, and out we worked round and round again, till we had created a perfect posy.
   Then the anticipation on Show Day, when the Pavilion doors were open to the public. Had we won anything, had we been good enough. Were there perhaps a card next to our entry, blue writing, meant a first red writing, a second.
   That is what I remember as good fun on Show Day, my White Cat Ornament, for all  round Aggregate, so long ago, still sits in my crystal cabinet, today. Thanks Nanna.
