Yeah well I sucked!! I had a a close to perfect score and blew it on the density. I was so thick!!!! I don't what I did. It was so dense that was crystalizing at the fair!!! thought wasn't mine. but I check it and and its mine. I think the temp was wrong when I check it. but I did get 6th outa of a lot I didn't see exactly how many there were so I wasn't the worst. But it was a good learning experience. Next year Carlisle...next year!!!!

total score 69.5

0 outa 30 density it was 38.8 geez!!! Well good for my customers I guess.
34.5 outa 35 flavor (I'll take that any day!!)
20 outa 20 clarity
15 outa 15 package

I think Patti Fisher was 1st. (I may not have the first name right).

Paul Weeks was second. (West Campton)

Bill Cheney was third. (Campton)

There were 10 entries from what I saw.

yep I remember Fisher but was it Heidi...ah I don't remeber. I'll take 6th out of 10 I wouldn't say I did bad. the syrup is still really good just gotta get the density right!!! and remember to double check the density again right before the cap goes on the jar!!! :rolleyes:

Josh how did you do? Yours was displayed next to my crystalizing jar!!!
Is the Rochester fair a carlisle fair? I didn't think it was last year?

Not sure how I did. I was in the woods all weekend and didn't make it to the fair. I should find out this week. The people who bring it up for me also bring it back.

Rochester is not a Carlisle Fair.
