Meet Cory!
 
You might recognize the young man standing next to her. That’s her son Riley that we featured last month. Him and his sister have entered the fair’s exhibitions for the past nine years, but five year’s ago Cory finally decided to enter too!
 
This year Cory entered her hot peppers in Grains, Veggies & Fruits, and three photos in the Photography exhibition. She took home three ribbons this year, including a ✨Honorable Mention✨ ribbon for her 1st place black and white print.
 
When asked about her exhibition experience, Cory said, “I love showcasing things at the fair, it gives the fair goers something to look at and gives you a little bit of pride that you made that!”
 
We can’t wait to see what Cory and her family enter next year!
