Jetty - 3rd place

This weekend is the big Durham Fair weekend in our area. It is one of the biggest country fairs around and I have been going to it for many years. The past few years, we have been meeting up with some old friends from our high school days. All of us enter different competitions and then go around and check out how we have done. My husband and I do the photography, my friends do oil painting, woodworking, baking and herbs. It is a fun night and even better when the weather cooperates, like it did last night.

My husband and friends are more seasoned competitors and have won many ribbons over the years. This is only the second year I entered the photography category. I won an honorable mention and a third place for 2 of my digital photos, and I was quite excited! It is still fun to see the prints all displayed, even if I didn't win any ribbons. Many beautiful photos were ribbon-less, so I was in good company!
