include gardening, planting or arranging? If
you’ve answered yes join thousands of your
neighbors and friends who exhibit their creative

“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 our
fair apart from a traditional amusement park.”
The
theme of this year’s fair, “Summer Safari” is a
central focus of many of the 2007 exhibit
categories and special contests. Be prepared to
take a journey to see the best safari artworks,
safari Lego creations and photographs of exotic
wildflowers, to name a few. Expert table
setters can submit their “Summer Safari”
settings for cash prizes, too.
For
all food lovers there will be special contests
for cookies, fudge, BBQ ribs, apple and sweet
potato pies, jam, homemade ice-cream and special
dishes with almonds included. Everybody and
