See ya at the fair!

By Rex Dolby

You should have your pictures for the fair mounted in frames no larger than 8×10, and have obtained your tags at the fair board office. Tags must be picked up by noon this Saturday. Pictures, with the tag attached, are to be brought to the large room beyond the fair board office between the hours of 1- 5 p.m. on Sunday, August 26.

Members of the Wassenberg Camera Club will be on hand to register your entries and place them in the category indicated on the tag. Tie the tag so your name can not be seen before judging and can be revealed after judging. The Fair Board will award cash prizes to the top three in each category and the Wassenberg Camera Club will present checks for the best color and black and white in both senior and junior divisions. Winners may pick up their fair awards starting Friday, August 31, at the Treasurer’s Office located at the east end of the grandstand. Note that a photo ID is required in order to collect your premiums. Wassenberg Camera Club checks will be taped to the backs of the winning pictures.

Pictures may be picked up starting at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, September 4.

Entries for the 35th Annual Wassenberg Photography Exhibit will be accepted on Saturday, September 8 and Sunday, September 9 between the hours of 1 – 5 p.m. at the Wassenberg Art Center. If you do not have a prospectus yet, some will be available during check-in for the fair’s photography exhibit or you may pick one up at the Wassenberg Art Center Tuesday – Sunday between the hours of 1-5 p.m. Good luck and see ya at the fair!
