My State Fair Stuff -- Just Got Better !
I just found out today that I've been awarded the coveted and highly
sought "Prestigious Processor of the Pantry" medallion. Go ahead, laugh at the name -- I think it's fairly dippy myself -- but I can't tell you how exciting it is. I've just put a couple pictures on my webpage, along with the story.I so 'cited! This afternoon I went to the Fairgrounds to appear on the 6:00 p.m. news as a ribbon winner for the Gedney folks. Before heading to the television site, I went to the Creative Activities building with the hope of taking better pictures of my stuff than those I took on Thursday. I noticed that they'd changed one of the exhibit cases -- the one that had all the big Gedney placards listing the various winners of special Gedney prizes. Then I saw two more awards in that case -- the ones for Best Canner and Best Baker, essentially. The award for canning is called "Prestigious Processor of the Pantry" and the baking award is for the "Supreme Baker of the Kitchen." Goofy, to be sure, but big stuff! The prize consists of a certificate of recognition and a medallion and is given to the canner or baker with the most number of points earned based on winning entries: 5 points for first place, 4 for second, on down to 1 point for a 5th place award. Well, holy moley! You can't imagine how stunned I was to see my name designated as the Prestigious Processor of the Pantry! Tres cool! Eleven of my 14 ribbons were for first or second place, but I never gave it a thought! The best part is that the medallion is really cool -- it depicts a jar of strawberry jam with a blue ribbon on it, bearing the year 2004. Coincidentally, one of my blue ribbons was for Strawberry Jam. The Creative Activities superintendent let me borrow the medallion to wear for the newscast. Pretty slick. OK, I think about done with Fair posts for this year. Thanks for your indulgence. -- -Barb, <www.jamlady.eboard.com> An update on 8/22/04; check the Fairs Fare tab. |

... > I just found out today that I've been awarded the coveted and highly > sought "Prestigious Processor of the Pantry" medallion. Congratulations! That is just too cool for words!!! Now you've *got* to teach a canning course. Does your local community college have culinary courses? The course description will include: "Ms. Schaller has received numerous awards for her canning ability, including the coveted Prestigious Processor of the Pantry medallion." Also, have you ever thought about doing a book? I know there are several canning cookbooks out there, and I suspect that writing one would not be terribly lucrative, but you've got the credntials to market yourself to a publisher and it could be a fun project. Anyway, congratulations again! Anny |
