Dad and I were at the State Fair today showing some chickens in the open poultry show (birds went down yesterday; judged today; go home tomorrow) and I managed to persuade him to walk up to the north end where Centennial Hall is located with all the static projects. Managed to find your daughter's Home Decor project on the 2nd floor of Centennial Hall in the corner, nice job! Next to a beautifully done up piano. It was interesting to see the number of special merits between projects. Cake Decorating had a lot, while Aerospace, Entomology, and a few other projects didn't have too many. At State Fair, the projects given special merit are those that are good enough to be considered for Sweepstakes. Well thanks Astronakin! Don’t think we are going to make it down there, but good to know it’s on display. Some lucky person gets to go pick it up at some point and bring it back home. It certainly looks like a lot of work to break down the Home Decor projects and pack them all into vehicles! I think projects get picked up tomorrow or Tuesday, not sure. Fair ended today.

When my daughter was younger we showed horses. Western and English then wrapped up the fair usely with Contesting. It was a lot of fun. Enjoyed her many years of doing the fair and spending a week with her. But boy was it work. On Western day. She usely showed two horses in as many as 10 different classes. English was also two and some times three horses. Also 10 to 12 classes that day. Contesting or gaming night was only a single horse. Most likely 3 to 6 classes. Was definitely a lot of work. But to be honest. I sure hope my Granddaughter wants to show horses with her Pappy.

Quite a few hard working kids on here! It’s a great thing! I only turned in one thing this year but the kids had a few projects. My daughter has turned into quite the artist. A Santa painting she made did pretty good. A rather spectacular ( and totally accidental; I was trying to get a video) photo of a turkey I took got second place in the photo category. Congrats to you both.. SAS I have your pic of the turkeys as a screen saver, hope you dont mind.

Wow those are both nice! That Santa picture is pretty, and the turkey image is something deserving of recognition too.
