State Fair Story

"One of my favorite observations to date:

A family with two girls - maybe 7 and 5 - came to the Fine Arts Center. The parents asked if they could stay at the front desk while the girls took the quiz. They came back with all correct answers and won ribbons for their efforts. The older girl grabbed her sister and said 'we did the quiz, lets see the rest of the art.'"
