A fair just

isn't a fair if ribbons aren't being awarded and exhibits

aren't being exhibited. The Fayette County Kiwanis Fair,

running Sept.30 - Oct. 9 will have plenty of both.

There will

be entries in horticulture and a canned goods competition

featuring jams and jellies, as well as fruits and

vegetables. Entries will also be accepted in arts and

crafts. There will be clothing, painting, photography,

jewelry making, and an assortment of other home crafts.

Though the contests have decreased in popularity over the

years, there won't be livestock or baking competitions,

people continue to enter the remaining events. In fact,

classes from the local schools are expected to enter as

well.

Entries

will register on Wednesday, Sept. 29. If you would like

to enter, call 770-719-3530 for additional information.

Ribbons and nominal prize money are awarded for first,

second, and third prize.

As for

exhibits that will be presented at the fair, many local

businesses will be among the over 50 exhibitors showing

their wares and services. Some of the exhibitors include

Grill Works, Mary Kay, Home Depot, Tupperware, and Dazzle

Skating. The Gideons will have an exhibit as will several

other local churches. There will be several car

dealerships showing off some models of cars, women's

health information from Women's Medical Center, a

caricaturist, and lazer engraving.

Certainly,

the midway is the central aspect of any fair, but the

exhibits and contests make the fair a complete and

fulfilling event.
