We are so excited about the up and coming fair. Mom, Sara Hailey and I turned in all of our completed craft and photography entries last week and the baking starts on Tuesday!!! The ladies at the Midsouth Fair office said that entries were way down this year because of the move to the Desoto Civic Center. I am sad to see it move from the fairgrounds in Memphis but times change and so must our beloved Midsouth Fair.
This is the 153rd year of the Midsouth Fair. Link to website: http://www.midsouthfair.org/
I told the ladies I would follow the fair anywhere it went because this is such a joy for me to enter every year and now that Sara Hailey is old enough to enter I am having even more fun collaborating craft ideas with her. This year we are both entered the Karo Cookie Contest. Sara is entering the No Bake Cookie Category and I am enter the Baked Cookie Category. We have worked and reworked Sara's recipe, she has had some brillant ideas about what to experiment with and change around. I am so proud of how involved she is with working up her very own recipe for the contest.
Any updates on the entries??
ReplyDeleteSara came in 3rd with her cookies, but only 1st place winners were given a ribbon.
ReplyDeleteAnd well, lets just say one of the judges made a big booboo and thought I had too many ingredience and disqualified me from the contest, only later to realize her mistake (too late) Everyone makes mistakes but I was still hurt because you know I am such a rule follower and would have never had too many ingredience.
