I want to enter photos of fruit growing on the stem (much like flowers). What class would I enter that under?
Enter this in Photography, details start on page 73 in the Open Class Exhibitor Fair Book. Printed copies available at area banks, Rechek’s Food Pride, Beaver Dam Piggly Wiggly or the Fair Office. It is also available online at https://dodgecountyfairgrounds.com/dodge-county-fair/open-class-exhibitor-fair-entry-book/
Thank you for your quick response. I actually meant which premium number it would be under in photography. Such as flowers,
still life, on the farm…. thank you for your help.
If it’s a photo, it would be entered in photography (division K-20); Class 45A Colored Prints, 45B Black & White Prints, 45C Black & White Photo, 45D Colored Photo. Thank you for asking.
What are the times that a person can drop off items for open class exibitors the day before the fair starts?
Start times depend on the department, is there a specific area you’re inquiring about? All exhibits should be in place no later than 7 p.m. on Tuesday.
