Success at the Minnesota State Fair


Another Successful Day at the Great Minnesota Get-Together

CTC demonstrated crochet in the Creative Activities Building for the second year in a row on Friday, Aug. 26. A big thank you to the booth volunteers – we couldn’t have done it without you. Dozens of people stopped by to talk with us about our craft, learn how to finger crochet, find out about our group or just see what projects we’re working on. Our crocheted food-on-a-stick items were a huge hit!

Hearty congratulations to the following CTC members who were awarded ribbons:

  • Andrew Hultquist - 2nd place, class 292 (afghan, all or part made using afghan stitch with afghan hook)
  • Leah Larson, 4th place – Class 309, sweater, cardigan, adult
  • Julie Marz - 3rd place, class 295 (clothing accessories); 4th place, class 302 (scarf, less than 16 inches wide, two or more colors, solid or variegated)
  • Carla Stevenson - 1st place, class 302 (scarf, less than 16 inches wide, two or more colors, solid or variegated); 4th place, class 307 (shell, sleeveless vest)

We hope to see the award-winning items and ribbons at our next CTC meeting on Sept. 10.
