electrathon Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) I entered 6 items in the County Fair, won 6 blue ribbons. It is fun getting to display items. I know it is late this year but next year it would be great if country wide we made a push for many of us to enter local fairs. Aaron Edited August 20, 2013 by electrathon Quote

Members clintsdivco Posted August 20, 2013 Members Report Posted August 20, 2013 Congratulations. I entered a pistol case, posted In the show off section a couple of weeks ago, in the Missouri State Fair and won first in my class and best of show. I plan on coming to the parking lot event at the Tandy in Gresham next Saturday, hopefully I'll get to meet you while I'm there. Clint Quote
Members WinterBear Posted August 21, 2013 Members Report Posted August 21, 2013 Very nice work on those. I especially like the pouch. What is the knife sheath? Stingray? Quote I used to be an Eagle, a good ol' Eagle too...
Members benlilly1 Posted August 21, 2013 Members Report Posted August 21, 2013 You cleaned up with the blue ribbons, Aaron! Congrats! Quote
Members Mjolnir131 Posted August 21, 2013 Members Report Posted August 21, 2013 Congrats 6 blue ribbons outstanding, you know that holster is very nice and well balanced in it look. Quote
electrathon Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Posted August 21, 2013 Thank you everyone for the kind words. I tried to enter an assortment of different items. The bowie was one I bought the blank for and put the handle on it. The inlay is stingray. The belt is a clean looking Bison outer with a horsehide liner. Hand sewn around the perimeter. The sporran was a pattern I found on the internet about a year ago, was a fun project. The holster fits a Smith & Wesson revolver that belonged to my Grandfather. He had the gun for many years and I got it after he died about 20 years ago. The gun is very nice to shoot and I have a strong emotional attachment to it too. It never had a holster, this one was fin to make. I still need to do a matching belt for it. Aaron Quote

Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted August 23, 2013 Members Report Posted August 23, 2013 I keep meaning to enter my fair. Distance is no excuse, I only live a couple of miles from the fairgrounds...... Good job Electrathon Quote You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.
electrathon Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Posted August 23, 2013 If would be cool if this gets remembered soon enough next year and nationwide there is a push for leather at the fairs. I am going to try to remember it, but if I don't May would be a good time to bring the issue back to the surface. Aaron Quote
