Congratulations, Chad!

Chad H. won the local Best of Show Runner Up Run Off and will also be going to ISEF.

Awards Ceremony

I got first in Earth and Space yesterday! I'm going to State again! I also got a bid to OSC. No special awards, but that's okay. It'll be nice to finish out my last year with my friends at the state fair. I'm excited!

I'm extremely proud of my school's performance at the fair. We took nine out of the fourteen first places, all four best of shows positions, and earned many other place awards as well.

Day 2

I don't feel like today went as well as I would have liked. Luckily, today is the special awards judging. If I won first, it'll have bearing on whether or not I go to ISEF, but honestly, State's good enough for me. I can live with just State. Guess I'll find out how I did tonight.

Day 1

So, day one of the fair is over. I feel like a did a fairly good job today. Not trying to get my hopes up but I feel pretty good about my interviews today. I would talk more, but I am utterly exhausted. Tomorrow.

Set-up

We had set up today. All our boards finally went up and are looking good for the competition tomorrow. All that's left to do is go home and relax before tomorrow when the real fun starts. I'll update again tomorrow.
