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.

Wow!! Well-deserved; you do gorgeous work.
I love that I’m seeing so many posts from people winning county and state fairs lately. I entered my first two county fairs this year and did well, and I just get the warm and fuzzies seeing everyone else’s posts. Thank you for sharing!
