Huge thanks to our exhibitors, families, and volunteers for surviving…I mean, enjoying a fun-filled and slightly chaotic (okay, exhausting) week at the fair!

You showed up, you hauled stuff, you smiled through the heat, and you made it awesome. We’re beyond grateful for the helpful, hardworking, and all-around wonderful humans in our department. Now go put your feet up, eat something that’s not deep-fried, and enjoy a well-earned relaxing Sunday evening!

The kids have spoken! This year our parent class will consist of a pattern class and flags. The pattern is posted on the bulletin board.

Good Morning!

Just a few quick notes for today:
• On the picnic table, you’ll find a three-drawer plastic container. In the top drawer, you’ll find placings and any judges’ cards, feel free to check them out.
• Each year, we invite kids and parents to nominate someone for the Sportsmanship Award. Nomination forms can be found in the middle drawer. Please complete one by 3:00 PM and place it in the envelope located in the top drawer. A representative from another department will review the submissions and select the recipient.
• We also welcome your thoughts! Fair Feedback Forms are in the drawer as well, let us know what you think!

See you at the fun show at 1pm. Thanks, and have a great day at the fair!
