Judge with time and travel, ribbons, tables, chairs, etc. etc. Printing of publicity items, tickets, and programs. Advertising (our local county wants $100 for an advertisement in the "County Register". This is why it is anywhere from $2 to $15 for admission. Our show had to go from $5.00 to $7.00 this year.
