Harford Fair Best of Show Awards go to Stephanie Ostir

Stephanie Ostir has been winning ribbons at the Harford Fair for many years. However, this year her entries were recognized with two Grand Champions and two Best of Shows. The eleven-year-old’s artistic talents were rewarded when her entry in the Design the Cover Contest was selected as the Best of Show and will be featured on the cover of the Harford Fair Premium Book for 2011.

During an interview with Stephanie about the cover design, she said that she worked on it for several months. The actual design came to her when she was putting together a jigsaw puzzle at home. In addition to the puzzle design, her cover features all of the areas enjoyed by people who come to the fair. Her love for drawing and making things led to her prize-winning entry.

But this is not the only area of her talents. She also won a Best of Show ribbon in the youth category for her scrapbook page in the Fine Arts Department. She has also been involved with 4H for many years. This year she won two Grand Champion Awards in that department for her scrapbook and a coordinated sewing project. Her denim dress also won first place in the Regional 4H show earlier this year.

Stephanie is the daughter of Jeff and Lori Ostir of Clifford Township and is a seventh grade student at Mountain View. She is not only talented in the areas evidenced by her ribbon winning entries, but she is also an excellent student and is very active in her church. She sings and participates in athletic events as well.
