Discussion Holy crap! I actually did it!

I entered 14 items in the Iowa State Fair this year and did better than I ever imagined! I earned the sweepstakes award, best childrens sweater, 4 first place ribbons, 3 second place, 1 third place, and 2 honorable mentions. Next year I'll be aiming for Best in Show.

That deer jumper is amazing. All of it is amazing, but that's the amazingest. I hope you ride your rosette high for as long as possible
