MASTE 8GARD E N ER ime ason rea ir 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.
