Crop art at the State Fair (Horticulture Building)

[Another Bill C.]

edited for spelling
Check out the crop art at the Fair. This year there are some surprises in the competition. I'm posting links to save a little bandwidth on the forum. I posted this in the General forum yesterday but it moved out of sight in a few minutes.

This was my favorite:
"George W. Cereal. A weapon of mass deception in every box."

My friend liked this one. It's a portrait of Bolton:
"Seeds of Destruction"

This one is a little hard to read. It's actually about 2 x 3 ft.:

Panel 1: "Fractured Fairy Tales"
Panel 2: (balloon) "Rocky, watch while I pull a social security fix out of my hat" (caption)"A fool and our money are soon parted"
Panel 3: (balloon) "Condi, let's invade Iran next." (caption)"Great minds stink alike."
Panel 4: (caption) "Fools rush in where the U.N. fears to tread"
Panel 5: (balloon) "Set the wayback machine to the 2000 election" (caption) "The end justifies miscounting the beans"

There are more but these are my favorites.

2. Can you explain crop art? What's it made of?

Is there a link to see all the entries on line somewhere? Very interesting...
As you can probably tell, I'm not too familiar w/state fairs!

4. Crop art is seed art.

All of the entries are composed entirely of seeds that are found in Minnesota. There's a competition every year in the Horticulture building. Recently they've added a scarecrow competition.

Also, in the Horticulture Building, you'll find some excellent fresh cider and honey products.
