Greene County Fair

This is where I have spent my time the past two days. Actually part of three days, because Wed. morning we set up to be ready for entries. Thursday entries were accepted from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. I think in our genealogy department there were 68 or maybe a few more. I don't remember the time of the last count. Friday morning was judging. We have a lenient judge, so lots of blue ribbons. It is fun to listen to her comments and learn more about researching in the process. I was very pleased with our "Best Over All" choice. It is a scrapbook that was a gift to the Mother that brought it in for judging (from her daughter). It contains great pictures and etc. from her ancestors. She has used the scrapbook papers and accessories, all blending and matching. Plus she has inserted additional information and etc. on cards, booklets and so forth between the pages, with tabs to pull out for inspection. Besides the genealogical information, it is a work of art. We talked the mother into entering it in her daughter's name, so she didn't even know she had an entry! That is a small town for you! Now I'll go out Sunday afternoon to get the entries ready for pick-up. We were moved from the old building we were in last year, to the 4-H building and air conditioning. We are very thankful for that. More pictures on facebook.
