State Fair General Store... hopeful

I tried something new today, At exactly 12:05pm, I applied to have some products of Providence Preserves available for sale in the General Store at this year's state fair. The link to apply became active at 12 noon. You might say I was very anxious. If being among the first to apply gets you accepted, then I'm in. But, I know it takes more than that just an application and the non-refundable application fee; you have to be selected to participate. So I wait to hear the good news or not so good news from the Texas Department of Agriculture. Either way I'll be sure to post the outcome.
