Members Sylvia Posted August 18, 2012 Members Report Posted August 18, 2012 Right on... Congratulations... did they give you any prize money? Quote A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"

Aaron, I've seen your work up close and I can understand how you won best of show. Congrats.

electrathon Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Posted August 18, 2012 Thanks for the kind words. No money for winning, just ribbons. It was fun entering stuff. Contests are great because they make me strive to do better work. Aaron Quote

Members Sylvia Posted August 18, 2012 Members Report Posted August 18, 2012 A few years back my photography teacher at the Community College entered a photo I took in Silver City, Idaho., in the Malheur County Fair. Got a blue ribbon and a $25 check. Too bad they didn't surprise you with a nice little chunk of change.... still it is quite an honor to win those ribbons. You should frame them and put them on the wall. Quote A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"

The funny thing is I entered two things that were very nice. I took first place on both (in seperaty catagories) but the one that took best of show was more flashy. The Bible cover was better, but the notebook caught you eye more. I convinced a friend who is new to tooling (less than a year) to enter something too and she got a ribon for it. I am hoping it serves as motivation to keep her learning. Quote
