2nd Place
Last week I did something very impulsive and entered an exhibit in the county fair at the very last minute. Afterwards I held my breath. I was embarressed to tell anyone in case I lost. The judging was thursday. We finally went to the fair saturday afternoon to see if I even made it into an honorable mention.
My damson jam won 2nd place in the exhibitors choice jam catagory. (The only set catagories they had were strawberry, peach and blackberry.)
I was floored.
I am also sort of giddy. I have NEVER won a ribbon for anything.
2nd place.
WOOT!
I am thinking I will frame the ribbon, the entry tag and a photo of my damsons to hang in my kitchen.

Woo-hoo! You should have entered the peach marmalade, too. That stuff is gooooooood.

Angie, you should enter something every year. Soon you will have a whole case full of ribbons!

Congratulations! And many more to follow, I'm sure.

I think that's a great idea!
Congratulations. I am not surprised in the least.

Reading here and at Mary's has been great good fun- and more proof that true bonds can be formed via the world wide web (as you and Steven and Rich and I well know). Congrats on the jam and wonderful about the goats. Now, you and I need to get together to talk about a little cottage wool industry...
All of this news, between the two of you blog friends, is making me smile.

Oh, yummy, Angie! Congratulations.
Can I come and have some jam at your farm, too?
