    County Fair Entries

    Just returned from the fair where I had entered in the open clas a Mesquite NE bowl, a maple lidded box, a cedar vase and 3 of my mini acorn birdhouses. I got blue ribbons on all except the mini birdhouses. I got grand champion for those and best in class for the adult open division. I guess that is not to bad. I guess this could be a mini gloat. I will post pictures with the ribbon when I get them back Saturday.

    I'm glad to be in a county on the other side of the state, Bernie. I wouldn't want to compete with that. Congrats!

    Mini-gloat? I'd say this is a least full size, congratulations!

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
    Bernie, that is one serious gloat, and I'm really pleased for you!

    I haven't gotten up the nerve to turn much other than pens and a few bottle stoppers, but I think that by next year, I'll be ready to submit something to the State Fair here in Albuquerque. Hope I can have a gloat too.

    Very well done!!!!

    Thanks everyone. I appreciate it. They want me to take the birdhouses to the state fair in Hutchison but I don't think I will be able to because of work and my dad. My sister and I have to take him in for a check up at the special care unit. He has dementia real bad. We will see what happens.
