You're wrong. :-) Several years ago they put a cap on the number of
entries we can make. Twenty canning entries and 25 baking entries. My
recollection is that one year, I had 43 entries in canning and baking.
My sanity has partially returned since then. In those days, there were
bakers and preservers who entered *every* lot.

And you thought I was crazy.
