 Preserves....
 Blue ribbon pumpkins...
 Garlic...
A variety of produce...
 Apples...
These butternut squash won a red ribbon...

And this fellow certainly deserves a blue ribbon for his crow control!
Before the fair season ends, take a trip to a country fair near you to see what your neighbors have to show for their efforts. And consider entering your own produce next year! It's a time honored tradition. Maybe you'll bring home a ribbon yourself!
