	First Place: Circus Elephant Lora C. from Pennsylvania submitted the winning entry of her miniature horse, Bucephalus Hallmark.“This costume earned us first place at the county fair. My husband, Tony, was a good sport and was the “bearded fat lady” of our circus theme. Beau was our “elephant” pulling the tent with my daughter, Rachel being the “clown” squirting water at everyone. My daughter, Jody, was the “lion” being “tamed” by lion-tamer (my daughter, Hayley.) Family friend Matthew was our “stong-arm man,” and I rounded out the group as the “ring announcer.” As you can see in the photo, we even made it on the local news because it was so funny!”
	Second Place: Flower and Bumble Bee Susan B. of Texas submitted the second place entry of her Shetland/mini, Godiva.“Godiva is a flower bed and a beautiful little bumblebee rider is about to land on her.”
	Third Place: Unicorn and Princess Katrijn W. of California submitted the third place entry of her Quarter Horse, Dude.“Always the princess, now I have my unicorn as well.”
