❤️ This girl is tired… but my heart is so full. ❤️
When I said yes to being the 2026 Payette County Fair Social Media Intern, I knew I’d be busy… but I don’t think I fully understood just how much heart, hard work, and community would go into one incredible week.
And now here we are.
The fairgrounds are quiet. The posts will be slowing down. The camera roll is overflowing. My step count has officially tripled. 😂 My boots are dusty, my coffee intake was questionable, my truck looks like a bomb went off in it and I am absolutely exhausted.
But I am also incredibly grateful.
Thank you, Payette County Fair, for trusting me to help share your stories. Thank you to every exhibitor, parent, volunteer, superintendent, buyer, vendor, sponsor, and community member who let me capture a small piece of what makes this fair so special.
I got to witness kids chase goals, families show up, volunteers pour out their time, and an entire community come together during a truly historic 80th anniversary year.
What started as “taking some pictures and making some posts while my own kid shows" turned into thousands of moments, countless smiles, and a reminder of why fairs matter.
Thank you for letting me be a small part of it. 💙
Now excuse me while I go rest… because apparently fair week recovery is a real thing. 😂
I will see you all again next year!
xoxo
