Fair Entry Fun

I was looking for some photos in my albums, then I came across some quilt stuff as well. This particular picture shows a quilt, a picture, tomatoes, muffins and biscuits that I entered in the county fair up home in 1989 (pretty sure that's the year). Blues on all but the muffins, they got a red. This is when I thought those tomatoes would bomb, because I barely had enough for the entry, and they were small. When I took them up to enter, the other tomato entries were all big and plump. But when I went back up to look after the judging was done, they had a blue, and the other bigger tomatoes all had reds. I guess the judge went by uniformity, color, and no blemishes. That was a big surprise, but a nice one. I have always loved entering things in the county fair up home. Now that we live in a different place, they have a local fair every summer, and I continue to enjoy entering things. Usually quilt stuff, crocheting and knitting, and foods. The boys have had fun entering things in the past, too.
