glad at one point that the battery did die. But my goodness, actually had some great competitors there, and it came down to this fellow who looks like a bench press's track, probably with fetty nuts, with his very teeny tiny, little fair princess, and I'm taking boy, you want one of the odds of this being the last two standing. And it was really it was a lot of a lot of people loved it. She almost had almost
It was just inches from a clean getaway. Yeah, from what I understand, she's had a whole year of not eating any hot dogs, so yeah, she's revenge. She'll wear a crown this year, going I got my eyes on you, mister hot dog eater. Oh wow, this is really good. So you know, last year we we started off with the theme. This year we got another theme, and this looks like it's gonna build from here on out. Now with the book that comes out to you're telling
me that there's going to be a section that changes every year. Yes. So if if you've ever noticed, the fair books are broken down by department, so that each each department there for each has a department. In fa has a department, in needlework has a department, so that's photography and so on and so forth. So there's going to be a new department department eleven and each year it will change depending on the theme of the fair. So
since this year's fair theme has red white and you our department classes. Our classes in that department are like a patriotic Point for youth and adult patriotic barn quilt. There's open textile and open patriotic photography. So those classes are are going to stay each year, but they will change depending on the theme of the fair. That this is really so cool. I mean it used to be the Free Fairer with the Free Fairer with the Free Fairer, and not
a whole lot changed from year to year. But now I mean we get a new look every year. Hannah, Yep, we're excited about that. I can tell you. Guys came in beaming like god set.
