Geek Crafts at the State Fair
I went to the Oregon State Fair last weekend and got to see some pretty rad geek crafts there! In the Legos competition, this magnificent Yoda took a second prize.
In the 4-H Hall, this woodburned Twilight plaque won a Blue Award.
The 4-H Ceramics competition spotlighted some gorgeously intricate dragons — both of them took Blue Awards, too.
And I loved these 4-H science-fair projects — the illustrated poster explaining the recycled rocket and the self-starting electric motor were both awesome!
The Oregon State Fair runs through Labor Day — if you’re nearby, don’t miss it! And if you’ve seen (or made!) any other geek crafts at your state fair, I’d love to hear about them too…
UPDATE: Thanks to zebuladesign for sharing her flickr photos of geek crafts at the Michigan State Fair with us!
