On Sunday I picked up my knits from the county fair. Along with my FABULOUS CASH PRIZE! Did you know there’s a FABULOUS CASH PRIZE? It’s true! And I earned TWO, one for each ribbon!
(Honesty compels me to add that the cash prize is $3 for the blue ribbon, and $2 for the red.)
This year they had all the knits cordoned off, so that the general public couldn’t fondle them, with their sticky funnel cake fingers. I had hoped this meant that I wouldn’t have to re-wash these items (which are destined as gifts).
Unfortunately the needlearts barn is right next to the poultry barn. And both items have the faint but distinctive smell of chicken poop. So these two are destined for a nice soapy bath!
Bonus content: My cat is annoying me.
$5! Don’t spend it all in one place
What kmkat said. And make sure to report this huge bonus to the IRS or they will hunt you down.
That aside, two ribbons!!! That is just so cool (even if everyone got one).
A cash prize is a cash prize…it’s all very impressive.
Felicitations! You put a lot of work in and I, for one, am happy to see it rewarded.
You earned those shiny ribbons, and the intended owners of said knitwork should be proud.
Hey, a prize is a prize. Congratulations!
