Oh, well I'm not too concerned because you're going to
win it anyway, unless they judge on shape... ;-)

I started entering the Michigan State Fair 15 years ago and they paid 7 dollars. After seeing how much everyone loves the orange monsters they started raising the premium. It is now $200 for 1st place and they pay 7 places. I took a #255 pounder and won 4th place this year. That was good enough for $70. You are right though it isn't about the money. It is about seeing the smiles on someones face when they look at something you put your heart in. I love the questions, like how many years did it take this thing to get this big.
Have Fun!
Go Orange!
