    Congratulations, and what a terrific idea!

    County fairs don't just happen because you have a county seat ... not only do you have tax dollars going toward the event, there are a TON of volunteers who take care of displays and groundskeeping. A paid manager is a benefit that can go away at the sneeze of a politician. Tax dollars don't go far enough to keep your county fairs from functioning. All of us need to keep these things in mind, as county fairs progress through the nation! We enjoy them, are inspired by them, are encouraged by them, but we take a lot for granted regarding this yearly event.
    I am glad that your county managers/staff/volunteers have found such a unique way to support your county fair.

    CONGRATULATIONS <says she as she steps down momentarily from the soap box> :lol:

    QUESTION! What was the name of the challenge?
    They use the twelve that make the quilt ... what happens to the other entries?

    Doesn't it feel wonderful to one of the selected few? Puts a smile on your face for sure.
