Fair judging leaves much to be desired

I took a piece of needlework out to the fair to be judged and knew for certain it would get a blue ribbon as all hand stitches were perfect. I couldn’t believe it when I went back out to see that it had only received a red ribbon.

The judge’s scorecard was completely blank as to why. Not one word on it. Stinky!

A friend was entering things this week at the fair in Spokane so took my second place item along and entered it in my name. Lots more stiffer competition up there and more items competing, and it walked off with the blue ribbon and the judge’s note “nice work.”

I have often felt out her...
