This is an interesting thread just to see how differently each fair works. I entered some items this year and last year. If you enter 3 items, you get 1 pass into the fair. It doesn't cost anything to enter items but there aren't any cash prizes either - at least I don't think there are. This year I won division grand champion for my house wall hangings and a grand champion on my table topper. The most exciting part about it all was to see how tickled my grown sons were. They have never taken much interest in my sewing. Good luck to everyone.
