Lego prize
After going to the Boulder County Fair for several years, we noticed that one of the categories on display (with ribbons on some) were Lego sculptures (among the more numerous quilts, jams, etc. which one expects to be in competition at county fairs).
Eddie thought he might want to try his hand at this, so this year we signed him up as an exhibitor and he created a Lego sculpture, which we dropped off before the fair. The judges view them all before the fair begins, and you return during the fair to see if there's a ribbon or not.
Well, we went back on the first day of the fair, and Eddie's creation won first place!
It took him a while to really process his victory. After it sank in he'd occasionally mention "I won first place!"
Here he is after we picked it up again when the fair was over:
He won a prize of $4 with it, which he promptly spent on more Legos (he found a pack of used ones at Childish Things (a kids' thrift store)).
