to create. Her mother, Gena Monical Ruhl noted
that Ruhl had several entries such as a dragonfly
drawing so detailed that it took many hours to
complete.
Molly Schempp also completed several projects
this year - entering 15 of them including painting
and knitting. Schempp explained that she spends
nearly every morning working on projects
that are incorporated into her homeschooling.
Schempp noted that many of her projects for
the fair are started in the winter when they
spend so much time inside, welding is done in
the summer, and some projects she works on
throughout the year.
Though many have been working on these
projects for months, some of the participants
finished their projects fairly quickly. For
instance, top woodworking project winner Grace
Lessen, who made a puzzle using Intarsia (a
mosaic of wood), says that the summer has been
so busy that she completed her project in one
day, though she noted that many of her projects
take longer.
Nine-year-old Brenden Wurth, another first time
participant, entered a photograph of his baby
cousin, noting that it took many shots to get just
the right one. He states that he has watched
his mom taking pictures and really enjoys
photography.
Eleven-year-old Jake Curry, son of Jeff and
Jackie Curry, used hundreds of Legos to create
the Lego City Swamp Set. Curry asserted that
he customized some of the details in the set and
spent about a week putting it together. He noted
that the board that the city was set on was cut out
by his dad and grandpa, but he put everything
else together.
The Visual Arts projects with awards will remain
on display all week and can be found about the
middle section of the display barns on the fair
grounds. Go enjoy seeing what creative skill
neighbors and friends have developed.
