LOL Jax. The kids can use dried beans on the collages but no macaroni. It's like a mini tournament of roses except with dried natural materials.
The kids are very creative. We even had Wally, the Green Monster up there on one of them singing "Take me out to the Ball Game" according to the artist. To go with the "Rhapsody" theme. Last year a kid made the Hatch Shell out of a tree mushroom. There's the picture of it! I liked Wally too, because it was a faithful representation out of green split peas! I will get a picture of it tomorrow and put it on here.
It may be that individuals did the windows and such many moons ago. I never participated in that part of the Amateur competition. I was a worker bee for the adult competition for about 5 years or so. Then, because I had both kids entering, I went to work for Juniors and worked my way up the ladder to Chairperson. My kids are now entering things in the adult competition. My son has a cactus up there at the moment and I have one of my Jade plants, 'Hobbit' as well. I will know how they did tomorrow.
