competition with other entries). Multiple awards can be given in a class. No prizes will be given if the judges feel there is no merit.

3. An exhibitor can make only one entry of the same variety. Plates will be provided for all fruits and vegetables.

4. Vegetables and fruits that are of uniform size, shape and color and which are at proper maturity for table use or 
canning should be selected. Specimens should be clean, fresh, firm and free from blemishes caused by insects, disease or rough handling. Only the specified amounts of fruits and vegetables per plate or basket will be accepted. 

5. Entry forms must be received by mail, no later than Tuesday three days before the fair. Absolutely no entries will be accepted after that date. The committee will accept exhibits on Thursday the day before the fair between 5:00-7:00 pm. No unregistered entries will be accepted.
