During the 1980s off and on I entered some of my knitted items into the Three County Fair — an annual event in western MA. I did this not because of the token prizes that ranged around $3.00, but for the interesting feedback from the expert judges. And maybe some vanity on my part too as I did win a number of ribbons and recognition over time, including Best in Fair. This outfit (alas, my only photo as it was promptly given away) won a first prize ribbon (blue ribbon under white tag, left). Knitted of lilac baby yarn, probably Phildar, probably acrylic based.

Sorry it isn't a better photo — the camera caught the fencing that protects the display.
