Since most FReepers are personally responsible, hard-working, well-prepared, self-sufficient individuals, I thought it would be nice for us to get to brag about the fruits of our labor--whether it be traditional county-fair fare (canning, crochet, quilting, crops, cheeses) or FReeper-oriented fare (political slogans, FReep posters, FReep ideas, breaking news, opus posts, FR handles, FR profiles, posts-of-the-day, etc.) I'm not sure who the judges will be, but you all are welcome to post your entries here.

Photos will be forthcoming as soon as I get rested and sober-up this week.Did you make wine, too? The harvest from my tomato crop (8 plants in a flower bed) was less than abundant. It probably has something to do with the fact that I didn't water them between rains.
I guess I will be entering the in the Flower divisions. Unfortunately, I failed to get pics of the saucer sized Henryi Clematis this spring. It surely would have won a blue ribbon.
Let's talk field crops. Early yield checks are coming in. Iowa's corn will be a bin buster.

Part of the Kerry cattle, being on both sides of the issue at the same time in livestock as well.

I'd post pictures of my quilts but don't have anyplace to host them. I will set up a web site some day.

The only things I've made this year are a set of wind chimes and a 6 gallon carboy of plum wine...
