And Alb....I will be looking out for you next year. Hopefully you will be able to enter something. Just remember the judging dates don't correspond with the acutal fair dates (who knows why). So make you sure plan accordingly.

MODERATOR! This forum has decency rules, and using the words O_io and State together is a violation, if you look on the prohibited terms. Please refrain from posting such indecent language... :lol:

If it is really on the campus of that foresaken place, you should win all the prizes. They can't spell, they're not very bright, ...

Good luck!
