As you might remember my parents and I entered exhibits to be judged at the Fairfield County Fair (Ohio). Yesterday the area where they were housed was closed, because they were judging. Today, we got to go in and see the results.

My Dad's ballpoint pen collection took 2nd Place in his division.

My Mom's Orange Cookies took 2nd Place in "Iced Cookies".

My Pin-Back Button Collection (sometimes called "badges") took 3rd Place.

I was very happy with all three results. Last year we all entered items and NONE OF US placed, but this year we all did.

The Pin-Back Buttons showcase various entertainers and entertainments I am interested in, here is a list of some of the button items...

A large amount of Peanuts (i.e., Charlie Brown and Snoopy) buttons

A large amount of "Return of the Jedi" buttons

Two "Star Wars" buttons

Seven Jerry Lewis buttons

Six "E. T." buttons

Two President George W. Bush buttons

One Monkees button

One Re-Elect Rosco (i.e., "Dukes of Hazzard"; the classic TV series) button

and

One Columbus (Ohio) Zoo button

I think that's it.
