Heya! I had to report that I won exactly enough in premiums ($20) this year to pay for my Frederick Fair entries! We did really well, only 1 non-winning entry, a barrel cactus surrounded by babies that I thought looked great but may have been considered overpotted or simply not large/striking enough. (Second place was a bromiliad without a "bloom" that had broken leaves.. whazzup with that?)
Blue ribbons for pumpkin pie bread, watermelon pickles, sedum (cut stems), and most fragrant rose (Redox Bouquet), plus a red (2nd place) ribbon for stained glass cookies.
