One of the most beautiful times of the year is autumn. After a warm summer, the days get cooler and there are beautifully colored leaves everywhere. It is a time to enjoy life to its fullest with the knowledge that the end of the year is approaching and it is time to relax.

Adding to the enjoyment of this time of the year are state fairs that appear everywhere. Walking down the midway, going on the different types of rides, and eating roasted corn and other types of food is something that brings back the memories of childhood. State fairs have their own unique exhibits as well as entertainment.

Among the many exhibits one will find sections devoted to sewing, artwork, children\'s projects, baked goods, and other individual presentations. It is a pleasure to walk through the exhibition halls and view the vast array of colors and skills shown by the different participants.

Presentations that are especially exciting to explore are the excellent entries in the baking contests. Walking along the aisles and seeing the many different baked goods provides many homemakers with ideas they can adapt to their personal baking skills.

Among the displays, one will find a wide assortment of cakes, cookies, pies, and other baked goods. These are always beautifully prepared and delicious looking. In many state fair contests, these sections are sponsored by companies, such as C&H Sugar that become owners of the winner\'s recipes.

A typed recipe must accompany each entry, which is limited to one per person. These recipes must mention any special ingredients or equipment required to produce the results. This would include such things as chocolate molds, specifically shaped pans, uncommon seasonings, unusual baking requirements, and so forth.

There is no doubt that a state fair has become an ingrained tradition in America. It is an event that everyone can enjoy and is a beautiful way to end the summer.
