Our area has a local summer fair. I have gone to this fair for most of my life. I have often gone through the exhibit building, and admired all the lovely crafts, baking, and woodworking that people submit. I have always thought, "Wow! It must be nice to be so talented!" Never even thinking to try to submit something, because I always assumed others things were way better than mine, without even trying.
This year, however, Lana said she was going to have Grace bake some cookies. I started thinking...Maybe Adam would like to try something. We looked into how to enter items, and we made a plan. Adam picked a recipe. I got the items we needed in order to make the bars.
The items were to be turned in on Monday morning. So, Sunday afternoon Adam got to work.

I had to work that day, but my mom agreed to take the food items in and get them submitted. Monday evening Matt and Lana took their kids to the fair. It wasn't long and I got a call saying that Adam won a ribbon. He got 3rd place.
I think he was pretty pleased.
He even got a small monetary reward.
This is his first ribbon. He is very proud of it.
And he is already thinking of what he should make next year.
