In 2023, we moved again to an even larger space that is closer to the heavy traffic lanes, which made is easier to find. The Fair had a time conflict with the X Games, which gave us only about half the normal two week construction time.  We were able to compensate so mewhat by more pre-planning, but we had to abandon our water feature.

We had the most amazing circus train this year.  There is a separate page devoted to Mr. Crocodile's Mystery Circus.

We had a new problem this year that we didn't fully sort out until after the Fair.  We discovered that a mole was dumping dirt in our tunnel.  We had to settle for checking and clearing the tunnel every morning.  All our plants were in pots, so it was really just a nuisance.

We cleaned up on awards this year.  We won:

First Place and Second Place

Best of Show (Amateur)

Best of Division

Best Original Design

Best Construction and

Best Use of Plant Material.
