3.  Exhibits must be of “FAIR QUALITY”:  “Fair Quality” is clean and as nicely done as possible, for the age and ability of the person entering. When entering a child’s project please put the age on the entry tag! This will help the judge determine what award should be given.  The same applies to adults that may have a disability of some kind. Let the superintendent know so the item can be judged fairly.
4.  If your exhibit is made from a kit, please write that on the entry tag.

6.  Bring your craft project, even if it is not listed in our book.  We love getting new items.

COLLECTIONS DIVISION
A collection can be no less than six but not more than twelve items that you have put together as a collection. Due to limited display space bring only small items (no bigger than a bread box). If you have larger items, please call ahead and see if there is space for them. Really small items need to be a display box or case or attached to something so they will not be lost or separated during the judging.  Each collection will be judged on its own merit. Cleanliness, uniqueness, and how neatly the items are displayed will part of judging.
