Hello All Good Steemians!
Welcome to my next Better Than Fair To Middlin’ contest! In keeping with the name, I will continue to post the contest during the middle of each month for an unknown, but decent stretch of time!
There Will Be Variety!
I like to keep things interesting, so the challenges and the prizes will be different each month.
Pay close attention to the rules to make sure you get a chance to win as many prizes as possible!
Why Better Than Fair to Middlin’?
In case you missed it in the first contest post; fair to middlin’ was a phrase my father loved to use!
Although you may find a few variations, the phrase originated as another quality category for crops in the U.S. Fair to middlin’ is a general and somewhat variable quality or grade between poor and excellent. Not the best and not exactly average either, but definitely good enough, or maybe just a bit better!
