Friends 7-year-old Carson Hopper and Mercedes Ellis, 8,
both of McKenzie, had fun eating a powdered sugar and cherry covered funnel
cake during the Carroll County Fair last week. Before the sweet delicacy was
consumed, both girls faces looked as if they had been painted in red and white.
Carson is the daughter of Steven Hopper of Newbern and
Amanda Hopper of McKenzie. Mercedes parents are Daniel and Kandi Ellis.
DOMESTIC ARTS GRAND CHAMPION – Joy Hampton of Hollow Rock shows off a crocheted sweater that won a grand champion ribbon in the Carroll County Fair this year. She was grand champion of the Domestic Arts Department. Pennye Mays of Huntingdon was the runner-up champion.
The winner takes all. That could easily describe Hollow Rock
resident Joy Hamptons wins at the Carroll County Fair this year.
She has entered categories in clothing, cakes, knitting, quilts
and other things in the fair for the past 10 years. This year is the most honors
shes ever won.
Her banana cake won the grand champion ribbon (see other
article on her cake). She is the grand champion of the Domestic Arts Department
this year, an honor she also won in 2007 and 2008. In 2006 she was the reserve
champion in that department.
In the Domestic Arts Department this year she won grand
champion ribbons on a crocheted sweater and double wedding ring quilt. She
also won nine blue ribbons, four red ribbons and five white ribbons to
accumulate 120 points in this category.
I start after the fair is over and work on the entries all year,
