While on the campaign trail this past weekend, I arrived at the Prices Fork Fair just in time to see the Bubble Gum Blowing Contest.
I hope to be back here later this week to finally share some photos from the beach, and to pay a visit to you!
Life on the Bike and other Fab Things
Whether it's one simple yet somehow perfect day or a dreamed about journey finally realized, I never want to forget the joy of the moment or how fortunate I am!
Life on the Bike and other Fab Things 
A past time that has gone by the way side because of ????? Sugar/teeth concerns?? Too passe?? For whatever reason, I just don’t see this much, except in the really young age kids. Great photo!!!
Thanks Doreen! It was really fun to watch. Of course, the kids had to be given ample time to soften the gum and get it ready for blowing bubbles. So good to hear from you! I’ve been struggling to keep up with blogs while in the midst of the campaign. 70 days to go!!
It has been a “struggle” for me, also! Summers are busy anyway and then add “life” to the mix!!!!! Time is flying by for you!!!! Keep us posted……..hugs always….
You caught it so well here! Great framing and timing on the bubbling. This shot would easily fit into a glossy magazine. It makes me pretty happy to know that there are still bubble-blowing contests. The dumb stuff that used to entertain me can still be pretty fun, ha ha.
It really was fun, Crystal! I kept my camera ready, hoping to get all 5 with a bubble at one time … no such luck, but it was a fun to watch.
Some serious intent and focus.
Oh yes! They were really working that gum 🙂
Oh my gosh, I can remember doing this with my friends. Sticky face & gum in the hair….
Lynn, it made me want to get a piece and start blowing, too!
Great shot Laurie 🙂 Did any of them blow a big enough bubble to have it pop on their face ?
Yes indeed, Joe! I should have posted several shots that I took … time is NOT on my side 🙂
70 days to go!
Fun photo, Laurie!
Hi Mary! It was fun to watch! They were really into it 🙂
So good to hear from you. As I told Joe, Time is NOT on my side! 70 days to go!
WooHoo! 70 days until you’re an elected official! 🙂
oh that brings me back to when I was sixteen…I would blow bubbles so big, the collapsed all over my face and in my hair!! xo Johanna
Yes!! That happened in this contest, too. It took them a good bit of chewing to get the gum soft enough to blow bubbles with 🙂
Great pic! So fun there was a bubble blowing contest…
I agree, Lisa! I love this small town fairs and all the simpler, less tech oriented games. It was fun!
Serious competition 😀
They really were intent on blowing the biggest bubble!
Just 12 hours on a plane away 😀
Oops, I will blame that one on my phone..
Such earnest faces so perfectly framed. I envy their ability. I was never much good at blowing bubbles with gum. Beautiful shot, Laurie.
Was it only young people competing? Is that age discrimination? I think age and experience could win this competition!
Sounds like fun! Love the photo of the bubble gum blowing contest.. Look at those intent looks on their faces!
