Each year the NC Mountain State Fair sends out a Pony Express van to pick up arts and crafts entries from our counties.  That saves you a trip if you would like to enter arts, crafts, woodworking, garden items, etc. in our regional fair.  How does it work?  You go onto the MSF website and register your entries.  They you bring them to the Macon County Cooperative Extension office boxed up and protected.  The Pony Express will come pick them up and deliver them back here after the fair.  You will want to go visit the fair (of course) to see how your item placed!!

Go check out the Mountain State Fair website for a description of each category. The Youth Department is for youth ages 6 to 19.  A separate category is "Participation" and that is for kids 5 and under.
