Fair Ribbons

Please humor me while I do a little bragging. I ALSO won a few ribbons at the fair. I was VERY surprised and thrilled and humbled. (Lavender ribbons are "Best of Show" and green ribbons are "Award of Merit")


And this little "Fair-E-Tail" princess DID win the "Best of Show" for the Fair Theme category. Isn't she cute (if I do say so myself)?

AND, my bread (that I make weekly) won First Place in the wheat bread category -- which means I was declared the "Wheat Baking Queen". Hmmm..... I don't know about the queen part-- queen bee maybe, but wheat queen? Sounds like I should ride on a float gowned in a dazzling dress made of wheat and armed with a rolling pin and my handy kitchen aid mixer. (He he.) Thank you, thank you very much. (We have a relatively small fair -- it's not like there were hundreds of entries, but still I am pleased). OK-- I will stop bragging now.

There were so many beautiful entries in the photography section and quilt section. I wish I had more time to stop and study each display. Next year I plan on entering more sewn items. And no, I didn't enter any flowers. Entering flowers takes a lot of time, which I was running short on this year. Besides, I didn't want to win ALL the ribbons! (wink wink)
