If you have a green thumb, an artistic eye, or a flair for crafts, now is the time to start planning items to enter into this year’s county fair. Set aside a jar of canned goods that turned out better than you planned. Finish up a craft project you have been working on.

The County Fair portion of the fourteenth annual Anson Ag Expo and Fair will be held Saturday, September 24 at the Extension Center on McLaurin Street in Wadesboro from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. It will be here sooner than you think.

Crafts, canned goods, ag products, photography, art and handicrafts will be welcomed for competition. Take down your vacation photo from the fridge and frame it. Add fertilizer to that favorite plant. Then bring them all down to the Extension Center and enter them in the fair!

Remember that fair participation is open to youth as well as adults. Age groups available for competition consist of:  Pee Wee – 0 to 5 years, Pre-teen – 6 to 12, Teen – 13 to 19, and Adult – 20 and up. Now is the time to be planning to show off your talents at the fair!
