Mona Hermans: Oregon Fairs Representative
Peggy Bodle: Washington Fairs Representative
See RIBBON WINNERS BELOW!!!
Fairs are of great interest and importance to MEOW members. Both State and
County Fairs are places for members to display their work, demonstrate their
skills, recruit new members, and teach the general public about machine needle
arts.
MEOW Representatives have worked closely with Fair Officials to update the
Fair's premium books with categories tailored for the types of free motion
machine needlework that members do. MEOW Representatives also work with Fair
Officials to obtain judges who are qualified to judge free motion work.
Many of our Fairs offer a MEOW Award to the Judge's choice of entries in the
free motion categories. This award is a special ribbon rosette and a certificate
from MEOW. Winners of this award do not have to be MEOW members.

Your entry is a way to support your county fair as well as your group or guild: ASG, CTA, MEOW, Quilt, Spinning, Weavers, Tatting, Knitting, Crocheting, Lace, etc. Your entries in the fair are seen by many fair goers, they provide a platform to display what we do as a group. Your entry also encourages other people to join the various groups, or inspires someone to pursue a project seen at the county fair. Those of you who wish to earn community service hours for your group are invited to volunteer for entries, setup, or demonstrating your craft at the county fair. Contact the Superintendent of the area you are interested in. |
