  5. For Fall Fair theme-based entries we are encouraging exhibitors to showcase beautiful works of art that reflect “Sew It, Grow It, Show It”. This could be a new variation of an old craft or recipe or could be a newly developed crafting method.  Use your imagination and enter your “Sew It, Grow It, Show It” themed entry into our 104th annual Fair.
