Entry rules
All Sanpete County residents are encouraged to exhibit items they have grown or created. When bringing an exhibit in for display, if there is no category for an entry, one will be made to accommodate the entry. Displayed photographs are limited to two per person. Quilts will be displayed on hanging racks that will show them beautifully and help keep the quilts clean from hands touching them. All quilts displayed should be handstitched or machine-stitched. Tied quilts are discouraged. Crochet, knit and embroidery items will be displayed on tables covered with plastic to protect them. Produce and baked goods must be covered with plastic to discourage flies and to protect the items. For more information, contact Sandi Schoppe at sandi. schoppe@gmail.com or call 435-851-4322.
Awards
Ribbons will be awarded for each entry. Along with the red, blue and sweepstakes ribbons, there will be four special ribbons awarded: Judges Choice, to be judged by out-of-county judges and awarded by them; People’s Choice, to be judged by visitors to the exhibit building who can submit a ballot with their vote for their favorite exhibits; Fair-Themed Entry, to be awarded by the judges as the one entry that best describes this year’s fair theme; and Best Quilt, to go to the judges’ selection of the best quilt on exhibit.
