Preview the exhibits
The Exhibit List for Judges lists all the exhibits that will be at the Fair, with their titles and descriptions. You can use this to decide in advance which exhibits you’d like to judge.
Judging flyers
We have four flyers (in PDF) for you to print out and post on the wall or give to a prospective judge. Each flyer has the same information; the differences are in the logo (color or black & white) and whether it has address tabs at the bottom. Select the one that works for you.
Judging documents
Here are the forms and documents you’ll receive at the judges’ check-in on Fair Day. We suggest you read them beforehand, so you’re ready to go when you get to Lindale Mall on March 16, 2024.
You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print these PDF items. It’s available for free download from Adobe.
