Well, I found it!

You can find it too. http://www.mnstatefair.org/2009_pdf/Creative_Activities/CA09Needlework.pdf

Now I will have to decifer it. I was surprised to find out that it is 20 printed pages!!

I printed them all because I want to be sure I follow all the rules.

The very first pieces of info are quite helpful. The exhibits will be acceptd August 16-19 at Noon sharp!

Here are the cliff notes

Chapter 1

You must purchase a ticket for the fair to get in....I can do that!

No bribing the managers, officers, etc. ... not even food items.... I won't do that!

No dogs or roller skates, etc. ... OK here!

Then there is a listing of prizes offered by a variety of businesses for certain needlecraft winners.

Note to self...whate does rosettes mean? It is listed as a prize.

Special Rules start on page 10

Who is eligible...yes, I qualify!

Then... How to register

Followed by a helpful map for dropping off the exhibit

I found this rule interesting...

Section 4. B. A duplicate of the judges scorecard will be returned to the exhibitor for each entry (italics mine) in order that the reasons for the decisions may be apparent. I will appreciate that since this seems to be a very subjective judging procedure.

More on that tomorrow.
