Time to Enter

One week from tomorrow is the deadline for entering items in the Brown County Fair.  You don't have to have things done by then, just have them entered.  Items need to be finished in mid-August.  Entries are brought to the Fair on Monday, August 16th 6-8pm or Tuesday, August 17th 8:30-10am for judging Tuesday, August 17th at 10:30am.  Exhibits are released on Sunday, August 22nd at 6pm which is when you get to pick up your entries and any ribbons you've earned.

Entering is easy.  Just go to https://browncountyfair.com/, click on "For Exhibitors" in the upper right of the screen, and use the "Online Entry Portal" just below the graphic and printed welcome.  Or you can scroll down to "Open & Senior Entry Form", print it off, and enter by mail.   For $4 you can enter as many items as you like and you can purchase tickets to the Fair for less than the cost at the gate.  Your ticket(s) will be in the envelope with your entry tags.  (I highly recommend taking safety pins along when you take your entries, it makes attaching the tags to your items much easier.)

Remember that the Fair Judges who gave our May BLKG meeting program highly recommended blocking your items and making sure they're square and straight.  (I'll be over here with a pan of wool wash, blocking mats, and pins.  That shawl isn't straight.)

Come!  Join the Fun!  Enter the Fair!  Win Ribbons!  You know you want to.
