Special Instructions- CRAFTS

1.      Only one entry item per person for each class in all groups. All entries must be from Grange Members Only

2.     All entries must have an entry form attached and filled out with the name area of the form folded under once to keep entrant’s identity hidden while judging.

3.     All toy or craft entries must follow safety guidelines. All pieces must be secured by stitching or glued with safe glues (non-toxic).

4.     All entries must have open back to easily view your handiwork, unless it is otherwise stated in the instructions. If it is finished (example: a pillow) the judges must be able to access the back of the stitches.

5.     All recycled entries may be from any type of recycled plastic/textiles/metals (tractor parts!!)…must be clean and safe. No sharp corners or jagged edges to avoid injury while handling

Special Instructions- BAKERY

1. The bakery theme is sugar and spice and everything nice. This means your recipe must contain a sugar such as honey, brown, granulated or artificial sweeteners… for sugar free entries. ‘Spice’ are the traditional types. Cinnamon, or Cajun spice. Spice can also be bold garlic or peppers flavors are OK!
2. All entries must have the entry form attached and filled out with the name area folded under once and then attached to the item. Key is to keep identity of entrant unknown while judging. No judging will take place without this form for any item.

    

3. All entries must be adequately covered. Use a large ziplock bag to cover your item or secured wrapper.

    

4. On the bottom of the larger plate (loaf or cookie entry) there must be a recipe with form. NO JUDGING WILL TAKE PLAC E WITHOUT A RECIPE.
