I just found out....
« on: 08/23/25 13:12 UTC »
that the entry I submitted to the Minnesota State Fair earned a 4th place ribbon. When one considers the hundreds of entries in the same division that this was entered in, a fourth place is just fine with me.

No pics of the entry yet but will have come Monday when Ma and I do the fair personally, but the submission was title Minnesota"s Panfish: sunfish, perch and crappie. Each fish was represented by a crankbait that I airbrushed using everything Do-It. The blanks are Do-It blanks. The paints and additives are Do-It products. The split rings and hooks are from Do-It's store.

That said, I'd like to thank Do-It for making such great products available so that mediocre tacklecrafters such as myself can work with, simply put, the best of the best products which makes these ribbons at state fairs remotely possible.

I'll have a picture of the display by Tuesday here.

There's a mess of background clutter in the picture but if you expand the picture, you can see the baits fairly well.
