Do you have a kid who makes things? Consider letting them enter a fair competition!

The 77th Manchester Community Fair is fast approaching and I wanted to make you all aware of a fun and FREE thing you and your kids could get involved in. On Monday, August 8, we will be accepting entries for display in the Exhibit building. Entries get judged and small monetary prizes are awarded. It’s free and an awesome way to get your kids involved. When my kids were younger it was a great way for me to help them set a goal in the summer and give them something fun to do.
Check out this year’s fair book at https://manchesterfair.org (click on 2022 Fair Book). In it are all of the categories available to exhibit in. There are tons! Kids can enter a cool flower or leaves they find outside, artwork they did during the school year, painted rocks, a knitting project, basically any collection they might be working on, bracelets they have made. There are baking sections, Lego builds, and so much more!
Kids take a lot of pride having their stuff displayed, and it is so easy to do. Look through the book with them, have them pick a few categories (or a LOT of categories), and work toward a goal of having some projects ready by August 8. For those who enter many appropriate categories, you should look at the requirements for entering the “Homemaker and Junior Homemaker“ contests.
It’s fun for kids to have friends and aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc. tell them they saw there work on display at the fair! Consider looking over the fair book with your littles, and pick out some projects to enter or get started on. It’s a great goal for mid summer when everyone needs some direction!
