LIHU‘E — Jaycee Pang worked on a bag during the summer and entered it in the 2010 Home Economics competition when the Kaua‘i County Farm Bureau Fair opened Thursday.

Similarly, Kaihalana Locey, 12, of Anahola was excited about the red ribbon she earned for her Amy Butler bag project and a third place for a pillow project she worked on during the summer.
