The Mason Area Fair is
happening at the fair-
grounds July 27, 28
and 29. This year's theme is
"Sew it, Grow it, and Show
it." Its time to look at the
exhibitor's guide to decide
what you want to enter into
the fair this year. You can
find a copy of the premium
guide on line at www.
MasonCountyFair.org or
you can pick up a copy at
the WSU Extension office,
the Shelton-Mason County
Journal office and the li-
brary.
Never entered at the
fair? It is fun to show off
your talents whatever they
may be. From agriculture
to wine making there is a
department for just about
any interest you may have.
Everyone thinks of 4-H as
the only exhibitors at the
fair but open classes take
entries from the public. You
don't have to be a resident
of Mason County to enter,
the fair organizers encour-
age folks from all over the
Puget Sound area to come
and enter and enjoy the
fair.
How do I enter some-
thing in the fair? It's sire-
ple! Look
N at the ex-
hibitor's
guide to
deter-
mine the
class(es)
you are
going to
By JEANNE enter.
Each de-
REItWALDT partment
has a spe-
cific date and time to enter
your exhibit. Follow the
guidelines in the exhibitor's
guide to determine what is
required of your exhibit. If
you have questions, you can
contact the superintendent
listed in the guide or ask
when you bring your ex-
hibits for entry. There are
many friendly volunteers
who will help take your
entry and answer all your
questions. Some depart-
ments have special prizes
for awards. All departments
recognize exhibitors with
ribbons. How fun to have
bragging rights for a whole
year about your blue rib-
bon beans, pickles, photo-
graphs, art, etc.
What else is there to do
at the fair? Besides look-
ing at all the exhibits, you
can enjoy the NPRA Rodeo,
Mexican Rodeo, many ven-
dors selling food and crafts,
and entertainment includ-
ing music. What a wonder-
ful way to spend a day with
the family and support our
local youth in their 4-H and
FFA projects.
Many people have heard
that the fairgrounds will be
torn down after 2013. The
Port of Shelton is soliciting
input from the community
about the future of the fair-
grounds site. Now is the
time to write a letter to the
Port of Shelton Commis-
sinners reminding them
how important this event
center is to our community.
The deadline for comments
is July 31, 2012.
Please stop by building
22 and visit the Master
Gardeners who supervise
the agriculture and floral/
horticulture departments.
Superintendent Nancy Dil-
lon has lots of specialists
lined up to answer ques-
tions about rhododendrons,
plant diseases, insects,
pruning, vermiculture,
composting and more.
There will be daily dem-
onstrations involving food
samples. I hope to see you
there!
To contact the Master
Gardeners, call 427-9670
ext. 687 between noon and
3 p.m.on Mondays or send
an email to gardener.
master@gmail.com.
