FAIR INFORMATION
CONTESTS & COMPETITIVE EXHIBITS:
We truly believe that competitive exhibits are the most important part
of our fair! Each year, thousands of homemade & homegrown items are entered
and displayed at the Fair. All citizens of Inyo, Mono & Alpine Counties
are eligible to compete for ribbons, trophies, cash & other great prizes.
There are divisions for adults and kids of all ages & all skill levels.
Quilts, baked & preserved foods, crafts, fine art, photos, flower arrangements,
fruits & veggies…If you can grow it or make it, to the Fair you shall
take it!
