Hennepin County Fair 2008

The 2008 Hennepin County Fair is in the books. Or should I say it is over and is the start of at least one more county fair and the Minnesota State Fair.

Not a lot of people get to see what it takes to get ready for a fair at our house. Entry day preparations, actual starts the night before for, four to five hours. Then it up at 6 AM and start baking until 4 PM. It is then off to enter your goods and hope that you place on everything you entered.

So how many ribbons this year.

Kim, 2 Champion, 2 Reserve Champion, 6 Purple(best of the First), 22 First Place, 5 Second Place, 3 Third Place

Ted, 1 Champion, 2 Purple(best of the First) 2 First, 2 Second
