    Many congratulations and a special cheer for Jessica!! :D
    I'd have been bitterly disappointed if you hadn't won anything (as if :rolleyes:) and would have come down to tell those judges a thing or two. So, you see, you've saved them from a tongue lashing by winning so many catagories. ;)

    Well done, well done, well done..... :-D
    t'was well worth the wait.
    I would really like a piece of that sweetroll...oh, and that cherry pie as well (with a dollop of whipped cream, please ;) )
    The sweet peas looked good...I wonder if hey gave marks for fragrance as well.
    BTW--what kind of spud were those first place winners?

    Well, I find these shows that you guys have always interesting and it's nice that you get prizes as to boot.

    I know that you must have looked around and checked-out the competition, as well as, just perused for fun. What else did you see there at the show? Anything of special interest?

    Looking foreward to the piccies of the kid's entries tomorrow.

    Thanks for taking the time to show these.
