Information

Seniors must be 60 years of age or older. No food items, live flowers or live animals will be accepted in this department, and all items must be completed since last year’s County Fair. Needlework items must be clean. Some categories have been eliminated due to lack of entries in past years. The photograph categories (classes) have been revised to coincide with the divisions in FINE ARTS. Only two entries will be allowed in each class. For example, if you have three oil paintings, only two will be allowed. All photographs (black/white or color) must be individually mounted on a mat board. (gator board, photo mount board, etc.) no larger than 11” x 14”and no smaller than 5” x 7”. Matted prints are acceptable. No photos in a frame with glass will be accepted. There will be a “Best in Show” in Section A and a “Best in Show” in Section B.
