Rainbow resident Meg Berry won five awards including two first-place ribbons at the San Diego County Fair’s gems, minerals and jewelry exhibition.

Berry received first place in the mixed display class involving a full case with a variety of minerals and all lapidary or jewelry work done by the exhibitor. In the carving – professional class she swept first, second and third place.

Berry is originally from Kalamazoo, Mich...
