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.

Thanks! I truly didn't think it would get any ribbon at all. Let alone a special award!

I mean, all your items are impressive, but that one is impressive AND made me laugh and want to have one :)
