I am the Superintendent of Textiles & Hobbies. I will be at the June 27th Modern Guild meeting. You can bring me your entries and I will bring them to my pet-free & smoke-free home and deliver them to the fair building on Sunday July 15. I can pick them up for you on Sunday July 22nd and return them to you at our Friday July 27th meeting. Or you can deliver them yourself during the times listed in the RULES section on the website.
Any resident of the state of Illinois is eligible to enter. If you have any questions, please call or email me, Viv B. – contact info on the Members list.
Our guild is full of amazing talent. This is a wonderful opportunity for many of you since McLean County only has a 4H Fair. Our premiums in Textiles are one of the highest in Illinois. $25 for 1st place, $15 for 2nd, $10 for 3rd. In addition to the other awards. The Quilts section also has a Viewer’s Choice award.
