New to the Suwannee River Fair

A new contest is being added to the fair this year: an Ag Management Contest.  
This is an individual contest that combines skills from non-sale divisions along with other important agriculture knowledge.  Rules for the contest are online at www.mysrf.org.

Another new contest is the Program Cover Design Contest. This exciting new contest will allow participants to show their creative talents as they design a cover for the annual fair book. The winner’s design may be featured as the cover of the 2012 fair book.  Rules can be found online at www.mysrf.org under the Creative Life Skills Division (formerly Home Economics).
