Parking is free, but cost of the fair is 15.00 I think. Not really sure. As for seeing how you did, you'd better have excellent vision! They rope it off so you can't get within arms reach. As for categories, there are several sub-catagories. IE: strawberry jam is separate from berry jam. Each...
Decided on the baked goods! Going to do a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, and blueberry muffins. Decided against the chocolate cake, bread and coffee cake. I'll turn the baked stuff in Monday. The rest I turn in today! :D
