Grantsburg Ag Fair Pre-Registration Deadline is August 9, Webster is September 17

We had lots of prizes awarded club members last year at the Grantsburg Ag Fair. Let's see if we can't get more individual members into the running!! Below is a link to the Fair Book and the entry forms. You can also find Fair Books at the Burnett Dairy and other locations. August 9 is the deadline for pre-registration for the Grantsburg Fair, September 17 is the pre-registration deadline for the Webster Fair.

If you need any help reading the Fair Book and figuring out what the categories are contact Becky, Linnea, Rhonda, Sandy or Charlene. They would be happy to help you with the ins and outs of entering your flowers, plants, arrangements and produce. And, the wheelbarrow competition is on again this year!!

Keep in mind that you can pre-register for a category then if you find you don't have what you hoped for, just let them know you won't be entering that category when you bring in your other entries.

Look for Departments 14 and 15 in the book for categories most pertinent to the Garden Club. There are other Departments that might interest you as well. There is a Junior Division, Open Class and Senior Citizens Division. Be sure to circle which division you are entering on the entry form.  The amounts listed are prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th places. There is no cost to enter.

Weeding Schedule! It is posted!

Well, it looks like Pam, Georgianne and Rhonda have our work cut out for us this week! The Thistle have made an appearance at the HWY 70 garden. We will get right on it after the holiday!

This is actually last year's weeding schedule and many names are here that shouldn't be. We will need to fill in where needed. Please let me know what changes to make.
