2008 West Virginia State Fair--Final Tally

Though it is two months come and gone it's time to tally up this year's state fair results. Drum roll please.....

Mom

1st - Dipped Candy -- Coconut Balls..2nd year in a row
1st - Apple Cake
2nd - Fudge -- Black Walnut
and most importantly...
1st - First Lady's Candy Box -- This pretty much means Mom's the number one home candy
maker in WV.

Me

1st - Apple Pie, Double Crust -- YES!
1st - Pie - Peanut Pie -- Just like a candy bar
2nd - Pecan Pie -- My first
2nd - Coffee Cake -- My challenge category since I'd never made one before
3rd - Blueberry Margarita Pie -- You read that right
3rd - Sour Cream Cinnamon Muffins -- I forgot the extra cinnamon

Overall, we did quite well. The county paper had both of us on the front page last week. Mom's had most of the notoriety. Next year's plans are already under way.

FYI, things have improved since my last post. Improved but not 100%. Ah well, that's life.
