I started my day by visiting the DiSalle Creative Arts Center and tasting some delicious "savory cheesecakes" at the Smile and Say Cheesecake competition. Cathy and Sherri, two of the State Fair commissioners were present to help with the judging. I also picked up a People's Choice Awards ballot and voted for my favorite items on display such as decorated cakes, quilts, and photographs. I watched in amazement as sheep were being sheared by their owners at an alarmingly fast rate. The Sheep Shearing contest was judged on how fast a participant could shear his or her sheep and the quality of the shearing. I also bought myself a bright orange 2010 Ohio State Fair souvenir T-shirt!
