This evening I went to check on how I did at the fair. It was also food bank night and if you brought some canned food you get in for five dollars. So I took my canned food and got my ticket and into the fair I went.
As I was making a bee line to the Creative Center I heard someone call my name. I looked around and saw my Brother and Sister-in-law standing with a group of people, so I walked over to them. The first thing my Brother said was you got ribbons. I said hush you just ruined the surprise and he said but I did not tell you what they were. I visited briefly and then went off to find my entries.

The Cellini Spiral got first place in the Craft Division Jewelry Class
The Yellow Agate and Carnelian Necklace placed second in the Gem and Mineral Division Beading Class
The Blue Agate and Moon Stone necklace placed third in the Gem and Mineral Division Beading Class
The African Turquoise necklace and the Dutch Spiral necklace did not place.
I'm so happy that three out of the five placed this year at the fair. I look forward to October when the fair comes to town so I can enter some of my pieces.
My niece Belle entered a painting into the fair again this year and she got an Honorable Mention
As far as I'm concerned she is a first place winner with me!
I walked around and looked at a few things got me some fair food and some fudge and went home thrilled that I got placed.
Happy beading Y'all
