Re: [lace] Fair Entries.

[Clay Blackwell]

Because Tamara said that she had not yet received her State
Fair handbook, I'll jump in here...

I've poured over my handbook (which arrived last week), and
while I find that it clearly states that the objectives of
the fair are to encourage the production of goods in the
state, I have found no reference to limiting the entries to
residents of Virginia, (although some departments are
limited..)  In fact, in Item VII, it clearly states,
"Competition is generally open to the world."

So to all of you who would like to send your lace to the
Virginia State Fair, I suggest that your first step is to
visit the website:  http://www.StateFair.com.

Let's knock their socks off!!  ; )
