In 2023, we moved again to an even larger space that is closer to the heavy traffic lanes, which made us 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 some by more pre-planning, but we had to abandon our water feature.

We added 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 tried digging him up, but 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 (because our display was so large it counted as two)

Best of Show (Amateur)

Best of Division

Best Original Design

Best Construction and

Best Use of Plant Material.
