I take it as a real privilege to be asked to judge things. And those things can take all different shapes and occur at all different locations and events. By that I mean scarecrow competitions, vegetable and fruit growing competitions, animal and pet competitions, drawing and art competitions. The list goes on. But either way, I value the effort and time and commitment, and most of all, the anticipation that people hang onto after they’ve gone to a lot of trouble to sign up and be involved in whatever competition it may be.
