That's where the idea was born for our Blue Ridge sign holder contest. I had Office Depot print 75 copies and Barbara handed them out as each Blue Ridger checked in upon arrival at Big Meadow. From there, the signs were slipped into the holders and put on display in the campsites.
All week long we enjoyed strolling around and seeing them all and picking our personal favorites. On Friday, Barbara and her staff judged each one using very official criteria. She created a spreadsheet and handed it to me at the potluck supper for the announcement of the winner.
Big Meadow donated a Campfire In A Can to the winner and a beautiful hand-crafted silver pendant on a necklace to the runner-up in addition to seven "Bless Your Heart" awards. I don't think it came as much of a surprise when I announced that Dave and Sheila won first place for their "Oh The Places You Will Go" sign!
