When I entered my stuff into the fair I was thinking that my strategy needed some work. I was entering two pictures that would be competing against each other, thus making them less likely to win. Now I have a new strategy. I like to call it: Just Enter It, And You Will Win.
In the art show I won First, Second, and Best of Show. (Best of show was awarded by the judges, it wasn't a prize that the people get to vote for like I thought in the previous post, that would be Peoples Choice, and I don't think they're doing that this year.)
I don't mean to seem ungrateful for winning, but it seems as though I was the only one who entered anything into the category of "Pencil and Ink" in my age group so I was able to win all the awards for it.
Second...
First, and Best of Show...
In the Home Arts/Baby Items I also won first prize...so did almost every other quilt there. I am just happy I wasn't one of the 2 people that got the dreaded and shameful red ribbon of Second place.
Here it is in all it's First Place glory...
This picture pretty much sums up my sons happiness at the fair...can you tell he's happy?...okay, so happiness isn't the right word. He got Cloverbud ribbons on all of his. He's not old enough to for the frenzy and sweat of real competition, all the Cloverbuds got default ribbons. The whole time we were there he was only concerned about when we were going to get all this stuff back. He is pictured with his square clock in the background.
The dilemma now is that I have to decide if I should go to the State Fair... where the competition is a little more real...but just a little.

I knew you would win!!!! I've been to the Cache Co. Fair before and knew that everyone is a winner there. I vote you go to the State Fair.
AWESOME!!!!
I don't know how you chose from all your great artwork to enter those two and not the others. I think your quilt stands out the most for imagination and possibly nightmares next to the soft cutesy baby quilts all around in that section. I wish you could enter the one you made for me! It is the best.
We will be going to the state fair...lets go together!
You should totally go to the state fair, and then visit us. Although we are probably a half hour or more away from the fair. We are at least closer than your parents.
