Fair Entries, etc

This post is deliberately late. I am including pictures of my State Fair Entries and I don't want to have any judge to have to recuse her or himself. I know it's not likely, but still. They're getting judged Tuesday and Wednesday, so I'm posting on Wednesday.

I won two tickets to the State Fair and hopefully they'll be here Friday or Saturday. I plan to go to the fair Friday the 23rd. Hopefully, I'll know whether I won a ribbon before then. And hopefully, I'll know about CD's entries, too.

This past weekend we played farther along in Wardens of the Reborn Forge. We had to get through one fight to finish off a section. It was not easy to get to that point but we finally did so. CD made spiced honey cake to take to gaming with us. It was sooooo good.

Sunday, we took my entries to the State Fair. The people at the entry tables were very nice, about my bobeches and my scarf/wrap. The women in Hobbies & Handicrafts were too busy. I got there about 15-20 minutes before the deadline, as were lots of other folks. They did have a lovely, black jewelry box I could use to display my earrings.

Monday was University Day. I took part in the procession, along with other administration and staff, non-academic. There was a passionate protest, regarding Silent Sam and its racist history. Interesting note; the 4 alumni being recognized as Distinguished this year are women.
