Nice job
This 12-year-old young man made his first entries in the state fair this
year and walked away with not one, but two ribbons. Keith Walters, a
Raeford resident, entered his decorated cheese cast and the handmade
stool he is sitting on in the Junior Hobbies and Crafts competition.
For the cheese cast, he won his blue ribbon, and he took a red ribbon
for weaving the stool top. Two ribbons in his first year. Better watch
out for Keith in years to come.
