County Fair Results!

Kelsey ended up entering 15 projects and Braxton entered 2 items, Whew!! I will explain a little bit about how 4-H county fair works for us here. The kids can be awarded as follows:
Blue - 1st place
Red - 2nd place
White - 3rd place
Purple - Best of Show
Green - State

The 4-H kids have to win a green state ribbon in order to compete in the State Fair. The goal Kelsey can get three ribbons on each projects; Blue, Best of Show and State. Drum roll . . . . Kelsey got 14 blue ribbons, 1 red ribbon, five best of show and nine state ribbons. She did awesome!! She was super excited to see how well she did. It gets a little nerve racking when entering, you want to do good, but it's all about someone else's opinion. Braxton received . . . blue ribbons on both his project. He was super excited, this year is his first year competing. With 4-H, they also earn money for each of the ribbons. So fun for the kids.


Recipe holder she made from this idea. She received - blue, best of show and state.

Glass pendant necklace. She got a blue ribbon.

Tied quilt - she got a red ribbon on this one.

Banana bread, she got blue and state. We were in such a rush to get the projects done and turned in on time that we forgot to take pictures of some of the projects, this is one of them, so I took this one at the fair.

Here's another project we forgot to take pictures of and will be posting more pics later, because it turned out so cute. It's a scrapbook made out of a 12x12 folder. Kelsey got blue, state, best of show. So since it went to state, we won't see it for a couple of weeks. But will be posting it when we get it back!

Yet another one we forgot to take pictures of was the Summer Activity Jar. It received a blue ribbon.


These are the cards that went inside the jar.

Kelsey made a ton of these flowers and turned in about five of them and received a blue, state and best of show.

Another item that Kelsey turned in that we didn't take a picture of was a bottle cap necklace and put it in the "recycling" category and it received, blue and state. She did great, we are very proud of her and Braxton's accomplishments.
