It's not only a blessing to learn and create with our heritage skills - but it's also affirming (especially for youngsters) to share your creations, have it judged by someone with more experience, and receive appropriate marks for your effort. Your local county fair is a free and sometimes financially rewarding way of doing so! Sadly, in much of our region, the entries are fewer and fewer every year. I (Mom) feel it's another sad result of the ever growing appetites for more frenzied forms of entertainment, coupled with dwindling family agriculture.
We decided to enter some of our knitted, crocheted, and spun items in the Pierce County Fair. Additionally, the children submitted items in photography, woodworking and lego building. Open every August in Graham, WA, this is a small, country-style fair, geared for those in the Pierce County Region of Washington State. Did you know all entrants receive discount entry tickets as well as monetary compensation for ribbons they receive?
