Here is the picture of the display inside the showcase where all of the ribboned treasures were located.

RRR....I haven't got a lot of competitive nature in me and if you knew how hard Ma had to goad me to get me to make this display and show it you'd understand. I just love doing what I do and I don't see that ever changing. I would have put this display together just to show people what can be done in a garage or basement with a little time and practice.....I love sharing that aspect. Ribbons, places....that's Ma's thing. She almost had to whip me to get me involved in the county fair and things got more drastic to get me to do the State Fair. Heck, I don't even plan to GO to the State Fair as a rule. Been to very darned few....don't care for the huge crowds. Ma usually goes with one of the kids and I go fishing that day. Earning these ribbons and enjoying what comes with them is all a new experience for me. I might have a go at something on this order again in the future since it helped me to focus on making specific baits and techniques, which is actually good for all of us who make the plastic baits. I have 10 months to think about it.
Thanks again to all of you for the support and the words of encouragement in this endeavor. Its been a fun time for this old fool, but now I'm going to catch my breath.
