Judges pick winning hay bales

Judges have picked their top three favorite hay bales among the 54 decorated by businesses and residents for the Dublin Public Library fundraiser.

Taking first place was the jar of fireflies created at First Baptist Church. Second place was awarded to the camper crafted by Best Value Pharmacy. Third place was awarded to the cowboy campout at A.J.'s Barber Shop.

The public is still invited to vote for their favorite bales by placing $1 in the participant’s jar either at the place of business or at the Library. All winners will be announced in the Nov. 7 edition of the Dublin Citizen.
