We must have had the same people here at our fair in Susanville, CA. last week. I got second place on a rag quilt I made for my oldest grandson for Christmas. When they finally let us in the building 2 1/2 late cuz the judge was 2 hours late for the judging, I went looking for that quilt. I had entered 5 and could only find 4. The rag quilt was in a solid wood box about 12" deep and had a glass lid. There was my second place quilt FOLDED UP in the display next to the first place quilt (a baby one) that was folded down to about 6"x12" and only showing the back. The Best of Show was ROLLED UP just above the the first place one that we could not see at all!!!!! The fair manager is a good friend of mine and was my employer for most of 3 year when he owned our Burger King. I plan to make an appointment and have a talk about this. I feel that it was very inappropriate the way they did the displaying in the building this. There was LOTS of room in the building cuz there was only about half the entries they had last year. And then the people who did get Best of Shows had no ribbons on their entries til the day before the fair was over!!!!! I feel your pain with what they did and can't imagine what they were thinking by putting those top ribbon quilts in a box, folded up. Sorry bout what they did to you. I TOTALLY understand where you are coming from. Obviously, whoever put those quilts like that are not quilters!!!!
