Twins, Triplets and More

[Campbell & Sutton Hajduch] We won two years ago.

[Lindsay Barden] This is Aylin, and this is... or this is Eden.

And this is a Aylin.

[Kay Moranville] Several years we were 1st.

[Karen Pope] Last year.

We took 2nd.

Yeah.

We have plenty of blue ribbons at home.

I would hate to be a judge.

There's so many things, so look at.

[Contest Emcee] How are you guys this morning?

Good.

Oh, my goodness.

What are your names?

I'm Macie Ault.

I'm Kara Buerger.

And we're judges at the Twins, Triplets and More Contest at the fair.

It's a real favorite.

Lots of dedication to a lot of people that attend.

And it's always the same time.

Starts off the fair.

[Emcee] Oh, my gosh.

So cute.

Where are you guys from?

[Macie] It can be so hard.

Even today, we narrowed it down to things like, do they have the same shoes on?

Do they have the same piercings or jewelry?

But we look at eyes, facial features, that kind of stuff, too.

And obviously matching outfits help.

[Emcee] All right, so who do we have here?

[Kara] A lot of them, if you'll notice and you look very closely, they move the same.

They have a lot of the same mannerisms.

And so you notice that and can pick it up very quickly.

[Emcee] All right, we've got our winners.

[Kay] We've been doing this twin contest for 35, 40 years.

We remember Ed Wilson was one of our first emcees.

[Emcee] Whose done it more than 10 years?

More than 12 years?

More than 14?

Wow.

Thanks for coming every single year.

[Karen] It's always so much fun.

We get to see everybody.

And our group is getting bigger.

Much bigger.

And I camp the whole 10 days of the fair.

I'm John Robert Arendt.

I'm Robert John Arendt.

[John] A lot of times people from his work will come up and say, "Hey, Bob, how's it going?"

And I'll go, "Oh, pretty good.

Pretty good."

They just keep going.

[Kara] Sometimes it looks like they just met a friend on the street.

That one makes it easier, so it's helpful.

I have twins, and so early on, I was not judging.

And I had twins who entered the contest, but they since have not been entering.

And so since they were not entering, I've been judging.

I would say the past, maybe 4 or 5 years.

But you've been doing this?

[Macie] I used to do it with my twin sister.

My mom runs the whole thing.

But I've been judging for the past 5ish years.

[Kay and Karen] Togetherness, always having a friend, always being able to celebrate our birthdays together, celebrate the fair together.

Yeah.
