Ashland County Fair Antique Judging




There were many participants this year, for the Antique show, so many beautiful and unique pieces, it was difficult to choose a winner in each category. The antiques were judged by grouping similar pieces together and choosing the best in each category. The first category in line is Flow Blue porcelain dating back to the 1820’s. The winners of this category are, in 1st place, Janis Miguel DeLeon, 2nd place, Mori Hirst, and 3rd place Tammy Brockway.
