SD County Fair

Deadlines for either the group or personal delivery of the Decorative Arts Home/Hobbies entries have passed.

FYI, after submitting entry details for the Home Arts and Hobbies “Collections” competition, the Guild was advised that we did not meet the qualifications to enter into this division. Some of these entry pieces are being shifted over to the Serra Mesa/Kearny Mesa Library exhibit. If you have not already done so, you can email Grace at info@baskets-gourds.com (or her personal email if you have it) to let her know you are interested in this option.
