This is my second project that got to go to the state fair. This project is my Star Spangled Foods project. I had to present this project at 9:00 a.m. I had to wake up pretty early because I do not live that close. Once I got there, I checked in. This is nutrition day, so the judging is different. First you have to take a tie beaker quiz, then you have to take a MyPlate quiz, then you have to go to the portfolio station, and then you have to go to the interview station. Once they told us what we had to do, I was able to go into the judging circle.
When I was in there, I took the tie breaker quiz first. I felt really good on this quiz because I knew all of the answers. Then, I went to the MyPlate quiz station. This was a lot harder, so I made sure to take my time and to stay calm. I did not have the greatest feeling about this quiz, but I feel like I had logical answers. After that quiz, I went to the portfolio station. This is where a judge looks at your portfolio and asks you questions on what you did. Finally, I got to go to the interview station. This is where a different judge asks you questions on your book. These questions are very random, so you have to know your book by heart. Thankfully, I flew by these questions. When I was done judging, I got to leave the circle with a participation ribbon. Judging took an hour, so I still had six hours until awards. They were going to be presented at 4:45 p.m. My mom and I walked around the fair for a while. Then we left the fair to go get some food and then we headed back for awards. Once the time came around, I went to go stand by the entree way before the awards. It took them an extra 45 minutes before we were allowed to enter the circle. Then we sat there for another 10 minutes. They finally started the awards. I did not think that I would win anything, so I was there to support the people from Franklin County. Once they got to my group, they called up the two people who were in the top 20%. I was one of those people. I have never received this award before, so I was very excited. Then they called the clock trophy winner. I won the clock trophy! I was so surprised and so happy that I could not wait to show my mom. It was a great way to end a long fair week with an acknowledgement of all of the hard work I put into my projects.
