Ok – so apparently I’m a dumb-ass and have never really put much thought into the local fair as it relates to Crafters. Leave it to my boss to point out this stupidity to me (in a roundabout way) and ‘lo he hands me the Agricultural & Industrial Official Program & Entry Schedule for the 2009 Hopkins County Fair.
So I paged through looking for the Rabbit Show… and found Crafts! Lots and lots of crafts! I’m going to try to convince Cindy M to go with me tonight to check out the goodies on display… Mwahahahaha.
And since I’m a compulsive list maker, here are the categories I would like to create an entry for (and yes this list is stupid long).

So that’s 37 projects right there! (Not counting the growing stuff… the gourds are growing right now for next year!). That would give me a week and half (roughly) for each project. I wonder how many I can actually get done before next year’s fair. Anybody out there want to match me project for project? (It doesn’t have to be the same category – just match the number amount – I can supply you with the full category list).
It could be a Challenge!
