Blue ribbons!

We won! I got a red ribbon for Kate's green sweater...




...and a blue ribbon for my red sweater! Wheee!




(They buttoned it crooked.) Doug just pointed out that there's a yellow ribbon on the sweater, too. Neither of us noticed it while we were there. I have no idea what it says! (Edit:) Zoomed in on the original photo--it says "Best in Category." Surprise!





Doug also won a blue ribbon, for his leather pouch.




Doug originally made this hoping to sell it. He has some detailed photos and comments here.



Andy checks me out while Doug checks out the other leather pieces.

I have more pictures from the fair, but just wanted to get these up tonight!

    Our county fair is coming up; maybe I'll get brave enough to enter some photos or a scrapbook page.

  7. WOW! I'm so glad you both entered the fair. So with the best in category, does that mean you get to go to the state fair? I regret that we didn't make the effort to take your puppets up to Columbus to the state fair when you were in 6th grade, or whatever year that was. If you have that opportunity, GO FOR IT!

    Love, Mom

  9. I don't think we exactly have a state fair. This is the big fair for this area.
