The Marin County Fair Wants Your Entries!

Although the Marin County Fair isn't until around the 4th of July (July 2–6, 2008), now is the time to submit your entry for the many competitions that will be held. Children ages 5–18 can enter any number of Junior Division competitions, including arts and crafts, creatures and models, cartoon art, performing arts, photography, and creative writing, not to mention traditional preserved food, horticulture, and floral categories. Don't have a prize-winning cow or rooster in the backyard? Don't worry—kids can enter their furry friends in the Guinea Pigs and Pocket Pets (which include mice, rats, hamsters, and turtles) competition.

The deadline for entry to all competitions is May 15, 2008. Visit www.marinfair.org for more information and downloadable applications.
