Each year the 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?

1 - You go onto the MSF website and register your entries.  Participants need to enter their items online before August 22.

2 - Print the completed entry form.

3 - Package the items, making sure the delicate items are wrapped securely.

4 - Label the box(es) with the participant's name and county.  Make sure the completed entry form is inside the box.

5 - Bring the box(es) to the Cooperative Extension Office by noon on August 22.

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: (www.wncagcenter.org/p/mountainstatefair) 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.
