For some, the Minnesota State Fair is all about competition. Every weekday during the fair, All Things Considered is asking: "What are they judging?"
Read or listen to the judge describing what they look for in a winner, and then try and guess what it is. Click on the picture to the right to reveal what they're judging.
What today's judge is looking for:
- "Creativity"
- It's "subjective"
- Color and beauty
- Very well molded
- Well stuffed and not floppy
- No sloppy stiching
- All seams are even and beautifully finished
- Personality
