Minnesota State Fair

It is hard to believe that the Minnesota State Fair is here! So what does this mean to Kim and I.
It means that one or both of us have competed in three county fairs to perfect or so we think our entries for the state fair. No more sun rise Saturday morning runs to the Farmers Market to get the freshest fruit for canning . No more bread baking on Sunday or baking at all, that is until Christmas.

So what has all of this gotten us this year? Well here are the number of ribbons;
