Gardening Exhibits

We would like to encourage all the gardeners to bring in their beautiful produce or flower specimens for display at the county fair. Exhibit goers love to ooh and aahh at fresh grown vegetables, fruits, or flowers. Delight attendees with your summer bounty results. Small vegetables or fruits should be arranged with four of one kind, uniform in size, on a plate, medium produce with two on a plate, and large specimens with just one on a plate. Flowers can be displayed in arrangements or three of a kind in a vase. Don't be shy! Share your hard work and your TLC with those who love to look. All gardening exhibits accepted between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, August 6th.

Home Arts Exhibits

Calling all Carbon County gardeners! The 2003 Carbon County Fair, Home Arts and Horticulture division is planning a big display of the flowers, fruits, and vegetables grown in our county. This year we are expanding the Home Art entries to include baked goods and candy (except dipped chocolates).

The Home Arts division will be held at the new Community Center on the Carbon County Fairgrounds, Tuesday, August 5 to Saturday, August 9.

Entries will be accepted on Tuesday, August 5 from 10 am to 3 pm. All freshly baked items and horticultural items will be accepted on Wednesday, August 6 from 9 am to 10 am.

The public is invited to view the exhibits on Thursday, August 7 and Friday, August 8 from 10 am to 7 pm and Saturday, August 9 from 10 am to 5 pm. Exhibitors may pick up exhibits starting at 5:15 pm to 6:15 pm.

Saturday morning at 10 am, Kriss Larsen will demonstrate Rhodes bread recipes for fast and quick cooking, and in the afternoon at 1 pm, Shirley King will demonstrate spinning yarn.

The People's Choice will be the funniest vegetable your garden has produced. Please bring your funny vegetables on Wednesday morning at 9 am to be put on display. A ribbon will be awarded to the public vote for the funniest vegetable.

All residents of Carbon County are encouraged to participate. It is not too late to finish up projects and enter that painting, afghan, quilt or crocheted item, or the canned product you canned since August 2002. Residents may enter two items per class. The best-of-show entry in each class will take home a ribbon and a modest cash award.

Brochures for the Home Arts division are available at the County Courthouse on Main Street, Price and other public locations. For questions, please contact Leslie Hannay at 637-6857.
