Have you entered your submissions for the Central Florida Fair yet? The online Submission deadline date is March 20th! Go to their website now to get signed in!
Can't remember your password? The site will email it to your address on record based on the name you give.
Do I have to register my submissions in advance? Last year people were able to register items when they walked in, however category grouping was not as reliable.
One of the groups was talking about requesting changes to the category structure - what ever happened with that? Because of changes in Creative Arts management, our requests got lost in the shuffle and did not get implemented.
Why should I put things in the fair? The Creative Arts competition includes a large number of categories with First, Second, and Third prizes - including CASH prizes! There's no fee to enter, but you might pick up a little stash cash!
What about Spinning? We had hoped to get them to add categories including handspun yarns, but as mentioned above, that didn't happen. I'm planning to use the Knitting Other category and make it clear that the yarn is handspun. Perhaps if others do the same, they'll add a new category on the fly (they reserve the right to do that if the number of submissions warrant it).
Other questions? Many are answered in the official rules on the fair's web site, but I'd be happy to answer any that I know the answers to.
GOOD LUCK to All!!
In other news, I had a lovely visit with DM and DsF this past week - well, other than the viral infection that she was so kind as to bring with her... :) We got to spend a day at Tarpon Springs, FL - the Sponge Fishing capital of the World! I got a really cool natural sponge and a couple of little plants to put in it. We also explored Mt Dora a bit (dropped by Knit and Needle Nook, but didn't spend any more money), Leesburg (dropped by Chez Casuelle to give a progress report on the CTH project), The Villages (dropped by the yarn shop up there too! A few nice things...nothing I desperately had to have), Yalaha (Bavarian Bakery - WOW!), Eustis (Flea Market)...hhmmm...lots of time in Lake County!

Wow, I haven't been in that part of Florida for a while. Maybe it's time for a trip. The MIL would love it, she lives nearby.
Did Knit & Needle Nook have any new sock yarn? I just read their website and they said they added more. I really need to get to Chez Casualle as well.....
Did you enter anything into the Lake County Fair? I plan on taking the rugrats during spring break but I definitely plan on checking out the exhibits.
