I've not done so well the last couple years. I was almost thinking it might be time to stop buying sugar and pectin! Now, maybe not. . . . Don't be upset about the lack of ribbon for the Pepper Jelly. It was not prizeworthy. Even I knew that. There's another thing to remember, too (she says ever so modestly) -- many of the lots do not get a lot of entries. E.g., there were only six jars of corn relish entered -- mine placed second. Maybe 12 jars of Pepper Jelly. Eight jars of Plum Jelly. OK, there were 18 jars of fruit chutney entered -- that's a lot. The Gedney folks were putting up some extra money ($175 total for 3 places) in that lot and those extra prizes draw competitors. My guess is that in other years, there've not been more than 8-10 entries in the lot, if that many. It looks like there were 24 B&B pickle entries -- mine were deemed better than any of the others! Thirteen jars in the Combination Fruit Jelly lot -- my Cherry & Pomegranate came in second. Lots entered in the Not Otherwise Specified lot -- my Cherry Jelly came in second. OTOH, the Strawberry Jam lot usually gets more than 25 entries (they judge only 25 and there've been times when mine has not been judged) -- and this year MINE WON!! Yeay!! -- -Barb, <www.jamlady.eboard.com> An update on 8/22/04; check the Fairs Fare tab. |
