All in all we had a lot of fun and were quite happy with all the prizes we got. One thing that I was really happy about was that we were able to make all of our projects by just using stuff we already had on hand. We did not have to go out and buy anything. As usual this year we were really hurrying to get things done at the last minute. We are going to try really hard to not procrastinate this next year!!
Did any of the rest of you enter stuff at the fair? How did you do?
