CASH FOR CRAFTS -
EXHIBIT YOUR HOBBY
AT THE STANISLAUS
COUNTY FAIR
Turlock –
Plan now to show off
your hobby or craft
at the
Stanislaus County
Fair
because
exhibitor handbooks
are now available.
Do you bake,
decorate, can,
preserve, or make a
homemade brew? How
about sew, crochet,
weave, knit, quilt
or needlework? Or,
does your hobby
include gardening,
planting or
arranging? Then
hoof it down to the
Stanislaus County
Fair and join
thousands of your
neighbors and
friends who exhibit
their creative
talents. But, act
now because
entry deadlines are
as early as June 1.
“Last year we
received more than
25,500 individual
entries at the
Stanislaus County
Fair,” said Tony
Leo, chief executive
officer of the
Stanislaus County
Fair. “The exhibit
program is the heart
of our fair and it
is what sets a fair
apart from a
traditional
amusement park.”
The theme
of this year’s fair,
“Pig Out on Family
Fun” carries over to
many of the exhibits
and special
contests. One of the
Lego contests
challenges kids to
build a Lego
interpretation of
this year’s theme.
Expert table setters
can submit their
swine-saluting
settings for cash
prizes.
There are special
food contests for
cookies, fudge, BBQ
ribs, apple and
