Categories:

Backyard Floral Arrangement: Your best display of a floral arrangement using only materials from your backyard. Containers may be from your house or second hand shops. Do not go out and buy something new. Floral arrangements must be tabletop.

Container Gardening: Your container garden must be movable by one person and no bigger than you are willing to transport. There are two divisions - Edible and Ornamental.

Best Original Recycle or Upcycle Idea: Make and display your most interesting demonstration of reusing materials. Displays must be small and light enough to transport.
  • Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value. 
  • Recycling is a process to change waste materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials 
Restyled Clothing/Wearables: The remake of anything worn on the body, including accessories. Items will be displayed flat or hung.

Food Art: Food is always part of a county fair. However since the competition is People’s Choice we don’t have the ability to judge a food item by taste. However any food that is visual can be entered. Think seed and nut art, noodles, vegetable carving, interesting display of food. Remember the food item will be out in the elements throughout the day so consider the best materials that can withstand the exposure. Ice cream displays would not work.
