Let the countdown begin! We are so excited to see everyone this weekend and we hope you are too! I've been hard at work today TRYING to get a bit more organized.. 😂

Reminder: exhibitors can start coming in anytime on Friday. I will be at work but Andrew will be around. If he isn't there or you need help finding the fair grounds, give him a call.

This year I will have a sign up form for everyone to fill out after they are all settled in. And you can pay your entries when you turn that form back into me.

I made a schedule for everyone. It's just a rough draft. Some things may be moved around, added or taken off. I just know alot of us like to have a schedule so we know about when to have the next thing ready to go.

Just a couple announcements for our exhibitors:
Friday evening, after everyone has got settled, we will have dinner. We'll be having tacos. Feel free to bring something if you'd like but absolutely not required.
We will provide the bedding for stalls and will take free will donations for those.
