I got 22 first place, 12 second place, and 5 third place ribbons. Quite the haul.

As always, I was surprised by some of the places, like my felted purse. (It is a ¡°dumpling¡±¡ªa square with straps that through clever folding and strappage, becomes a small handbag. It was all opened up and displayed flat<?>. Placed 3rd). My infant blanket (Old Shale white baby shawl) was displayed wrong-side out. Whatever.

Anyway, that¡¯s the story on the competition.

We had planned to eat there, but the smells were overwhelming (and not in a good way). No one was eating. . . 2 bottles of water. $6. But the weather was beautiful. There were a couple of vendors at the far edges that were selling Confederate flags and such, and one that offered photos by what supposedly was the sign from a former Atlantic City casino and a cardboard cut-out of the former owner of said casino. We declined.
