Well, I took a chance and entered some of my items in the fair this year. 
(The Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival).  I entered four items and won three ribbons.  Not bad for my first try.

I got first place for my Pineapple Table Runner.

Second place for my afghan.  (The colors are nicer than in this picture)

(I was frustrated with this until I saw what took first place.  LOL)

And I got third place for my Hat & scarf Set.

Oh well.  I am already making my plans for my 2019 entries.
