Get those projects done, clean off those canning jars because Fair time is approaching.   
The Floral Hall committee is encouraging all folks to enter items they have created.  
It can be any type of needle work, sewing projects, wood working, 
painting, basketry, and more. 
Don’t forget the baked goods and canning items.    
If you are not sure if your type of handwork or food product has a category, 
contact the Fleming County Extension Office or refer to a fair book.   
Floral Hall entries are open class and opened to the world.

Cut flower specimens categories were added a few years ago.
