For those of you with a green thumb, a crafty bent, or skills in the kitchen, the Home Crafts Advanced Prize lists for the 2008 Georgetown Fall Fair are ready for pickup. Elizabeth Taylor, a longstanding mem- ber of the Georgetown Agricul- tural Society, reflects on her familys participation in the fair: In our home, the arrival of the prize lists was second only to the delivery of the Christmas toy catalogue. As chil- dren, we would sit around the kitchen table and peruse the items included in the Childrens section. We organized our own personal lists and set to work collecting the materials for each project. In September, we would go walking about town in search of the biggest and best maple leaves. My sister always entered the pressed and mounted Marsh Marigold category. Dad knew where the marigolds grew along-side the country roads and he and my sister would be off in search of that golden treasure. The flowers were carefully dried and flattened in the Websters dictionary and then mounted on stiff cardboard. Mom was always helpful in providing pillow cases to embroider and pieces of yard goodsnot to mention much need- ed advice on sewing and baking. Each of my sisters and I have been active in the fall fairs in our communities. Our roles may have changed over the years, but come September, our hearts are still at the fair. The story begins with our Mother who came to Georgetown as a young woman and was determined to become involved in the town. The fall fair has remained a tra- dition in our family for 60 years. Even as the marigold left its imprint on the pages of the old dictionary, so did the fair leave its mark on our lives. Whether you are new in town or have been here for a lifetime, con- sider getting a prize list and making a contribution to the fair. There are many categories from which to choose; fruits and vegetables, plants and flowers, baking and preserves, needlework, crafts, photog- raphy, antiques and collectibles, teen exhibits, childrens work, and special competitions. The entry process is very simple and outlined in the brochure. Your work will be on display in the Homecrafts building during this years fair (September 5-7). Prize lists are available at the Georgetown library, Foodstuffs, George- town Yarn and Crafts, The Hobby Horse, the municipal offices, or call 905-873- 6157 for more information.
