Every zucchini for itself at the fair

It’s one thing to think that people who get all wrapped around the axle over vegetables and other exhibits they enter in their county fairs are idiots. It’s another matter entirely when you’ve got a zucchini on the line. I gave up trying to be competitive at everything I did years ago, after I realized I cannot be the best at everything, even though if there was true justice in the world, I would be. But I cannot quell that competitive urge when it comes to fair entries. And I know I’m not the only one. On open class exhibit entry day, the hall is filled with moms and Sunday school teachers and counselors and nuns — people who ordinarily you would trust to baby-sit your children or even your dog. Yet on open class entry day these fair exhibitors become competing machines - hauling in the bounty of their gardens, canning products, needlework and other crafts - and God help you if you get in their way/ Kathy Hedberg , Lewiston Tribune.
