Proud of my kid! - 07/26/03 04:15 AM

This weekend is the 16th Annual Harford County (MD) Farm Fair. They have judging in "Home Arts" and in the past my sister has won in the quilting and my brother has done well in the woodworking. This year, my oldest daughter, Kristin (age 13), decided to enter some of her art work. She entered two pieces.

She finished second laugh in the 12-14 pen and ink drawing category:



The winner of that category was the overall champion.

Also, winning the colored pencil division, and being named laugh Reserve Champion laugh (basically first runner-up to the overall champion), was her drawing of West Quoddy lighthouse:



She wins $7.00, a red ribbon, a blue ribbon and a big purple ribbon.


Oh, and I won $4.00 and a blue ribbon for finishing first in the color photography/buildings category with my Concord Point sunset picture:

Well, congratulations to both of you! Very nice work

And speaking as a past winner of the Illinois Lottery (4 numbers out of 6) for $76.00 don't quit your job and try to live off your winnings just yet.

I think congratulations are definitely in order for both of you!

Kristin has talent, and I bet her dad is very proud.

Congratulations to you both. Quite an achivement for a thirteen year old in her first contest. Great art work and I sure can see that she will do well in the future. Both of you keep up the good work!

Congratulations Kristin (and dad). As the parent of a kid who has had a pretty good run at the 4H Fair for the past 9 years, I know how proud you are Larry. Lots of talent coming out there, and hopefully Kristin will continue to enjoy producing and sharing her art work.
