Carolyn said "It’s not difficult to put in exhibits. You need a Show Schedule and read the instructions and if you don’t understand phone the Steward for that Section. You can just walk around your home & garden & you would probably find something to enter or you can spend months making your special item.
"If exhibiting cut flowers or veggies where it says 3 or more, your items have to be identical ie:- size & color".
