Kids did well at state fair.

DD brought her paper quilling project. It was made of tiny paper rolls, coils, loops, and folds. This was her last year.

DS brought his computer programming project. He created and coded an original video game. He made his own pixel art and movement system. (All I know is he did a lot of math to get things to work as he planned) Although he’s been a state delegate every year, his goal was to earn grand champion at state. This year he finally achieved it. A very talented and excited kid.
