The Exhibit Hall Guide hopefully will be published earlier this year, so anyone interested in  being a superintendent must contact Deborah Snyder, Exhibit Hall Manager, no later than Saturday, May 26.by phone 803-3115 or by email deborahsnyder@hotmail.com  If you are interested in judging, please make contact no later than July 1st. 

Another publication will be made once the superintendents are determined, so interested persons wanting to judge may also contact them directly. There will be a Superintendent and Judges meeting  two weeks prior to the fair to review and inform of Exhibit Hall entry/judging procedures.

Here are a few examples of entries the Fair Association received. These and other entries will be displayed in the Exhibit Hall during the fair. We want to thank everyone for participating and for sharing your artwork with us. – Deltana Fair Association

The Deltana Fair Association has chosen “Come Strut Your Stuff” submitted by Julia Phillips as our 2012 Theme/Logo winner.

In an effort to encourage more involvement from our youth, the fair association has decided to incorporate the use of two additional logos. These logos will appear on the Exhibit Hall Guide and Fair Schedule. We have selected one logo from the Middle School age group and one from the Elementary School (and younger) age group.

The winning logo for the Middle School group is Regina Gorkavchenko, Grade 6.
This winning logo will be displayed on our youth size shirts. Hopefully this image is not a forecast of the weather for that weekend. It could make strutting our stuff a bit difficult

The winning logo from the Elementary School and under group is Viktor Malyk, Grade 3.

All three winners will receive $50 and their logo on a t-shirt.

We are looking for a few people willing to demonstrate their handcrafts in a presentation this year.

Whatever your gift or talent, be it cooking, painting, needlepoint, quilting, woodcrafting, jewelry making, we would like you to consider giving a brief presentation in the Exhibit Hall.

The presentation need not be lengthy (30-45 minutes); whatever is needed to clearly demonstrate your craft.

Ideally, we would like to set up four presentation each day of the Fair.

If you have any questions and/or would like to begin planning your presentation, please contact Deborah Snyder, Exhibit Hall Manager, 803-3115.

There will be a “Powder Puff Pull” for the Ladies on Saturday night; and a “Pedal Tractor Pull” for children 8 and younger.
