The Tri County Fair at Bishop continues the tradition as a place where friends and family gather, where kids show off fine animals, where the year's work is placed on display for admirers and where the wilder side of country living is celebrated amongst rodeo and derby fans alike. While this year's weather included a few wet minutes, the shows continued and spirits did not seem dampened.

Cassidy Hollowell, 11, and Wendi Rapp, both of Bishop, take care of the lavendar booth at the craft festival at Bishop City Park. The booth contained paintings by Cassidy's grandmother and crafts by her mom. Spokesperson Cassidy said her mom is planning on creating a lavendar farm in the Bishop area in the near future.


Elana Eatin of Mammoth Lakes happily shares the tricks of her trade in creating colorful accessories "made with love for life and all living creatures." She creates whimsical animals and charming jewelry from Fimo and Sculpey, polymer clays.
