He's facing the bitterness of defeat in the face of a happy opponent . . . . . . he looks a little confused as to how to handle it but, as that old matron told me, he'll hopefully learn the lesson she did at that age, that of losing with grace.
But, of course, I guess becoming a serial killer also has a percentage chance as a potential outcome as well.
I was judging at the Bearspaw Fair in Cochrane last month and they are big on "participant" ribbons for the younger age groups in particular. The primary and stated purpose is to encourage future participation.
The challenge for bench competitions at Fairs is encouraging young people to remain involved. Not everyone can win. Nor should everyone. Losing can make you put a bit more into upping the quality of your baking, beef or grains.
