Fair entry categories have been referred to a couple times recently. What are the classes/divisions/etc you have to deal with in your local fairs?

I worked for several years to get the classes revised in our local county fair. You don't even want to know what they used to have. Here's what we have now in the Lace Division. I'm open to suggestions for improvement.

1. Edging, one inch or under
2. Edging, over one inch
3. Motif, doily or mat, 6 inch or under
4. Motif, doily or mat, over 6 inches
5. Dress accessory
6. Bookmark
7. Other

I've considered a Three Dimension class. There's a separate Christmas ornament division, so we use it for our ornaments, otherwise I would like an Ornament class also.

The philosophy was that an edging could be on anything, or entered without being attached to anything. Hanky, pillowcase, picture frame, whatever.

Classes 3 and 4 could be anything that wasn't an edging or a bookmark. Collars, gloves, hats, purses and so forth would be a dress accessory. Then if you come up with something really different, there's always "OTHER".

We'll soon be working on the fair book for next year, so any input would be appreciated.

Oh -- Our Tatting Division is in real trouble. HELP!!!!! I don't tat, but would like to improve the classes. They have:
Shuttle tatting - small item. (under 6")
Shuttle tatting - large item (over 6")
Needle tatting - small item (under 6")
Needle tatting - large item (over 6")


Suggestions Please -- for the tatters sake. Or do these classes meet your needs?

Thanks so much.
