Build a Birdhouse Contest

Bring a birdhouse to help beautify the fairgrounds. They will be hung on the restroom wall across from the Main Office.

The birdhouse can be taken home after the fair or become a permanent resident at the fairgrounds. It can be made from scratch or recycled material, but must be wall-mounted and ready to hang. Participants need to bring their birdhouses to the Fair Office on Saturday, August 8 from 1-7 p.m.

An award for the birdhouse with the most votes from fairgoers Thursday, Friday and Saturday during the fair will be given before noon Sunday, August 16.

Zucchini Contest

ENTRY RULES:

1. Entry is open to anyone who wishes to participate.

2. Zucchini must be grown by entrant.

3. Zucchini must be presented for entry no later than 11:30 a.m. Sunday, August 22, in front of the 4-H Building.  Judging takes place at high noon.

4. Divisions:

GROWING TIPS:

Start seeds when weather warms (right NOW!).  Place zucchini in warm sunny area, work in organic compost and plant seeds 3 inches deep.  Water deeply once a week to establish strong roots and avoid overhead watering or sprinkling.

Special varieties can be used in hanging baskets if you don’t have room in your garden – try “Black Forest” climbing variety from Thompson & Morgan.
