We want to thank our AMAZING exhibitors in advance for your continued support and your willingness to share your handiwork with those attending this year’s Interstate Fair. Although this year’s fair may look a little different…okay, a lot different, we are committed to producing a top-quality event that guests and exhibitors from near and far will enjoy. We ask, in advance, for your patience and understanding. We’ve had to make a lot of changes based on floor space available and number of employees able to assist us this year while making sure to be good stewards of our funds to guarantee a 2022 Interstate Fair that is even bigger and better than our accomplishment this year. Again, thank you! Below is a list of this year’s changes to the Department. We’ll see you in September!

1. Exhibits may arrive from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (reducing arrival period by 1 hour).

2. Each exhibitor may enter a maximum of ten (10) exhibits from the Needlework Department this year due to reduced available display space.

3. NEW - Exhibitors are requested to pick up entry tags and complete them prior to September 9.

4. Exhibitors may enter items created since September 1, 2019.

5. The “Other Than Listed” lots for each class have been removed. Only items listed in the Exhibitor’s Guide will be accepted for judging this year.

6. Many of the lots have changed this year. Please be sure to use the 2021 Exhibitor’s Guide rather than a previous year’s edition.

Special Acknowledgements

The Spokane County Interstate Fair would like to thank those that helped make this year’s event a success. Without the help of these willing contributors and volunteers, the show would not have been possible.

On behalf of the Spokane County Fair and Expo Center Advisory Board, I would like to thank you for being a part of the 2021 Spokane County Interstate Fair. What a roller coaster the last year has been! With COVID, we were able to offer a modified virtual competition for many traditional fair departments in 2020 and we want to thank those that participated in last year’s event. In 2019, we also welcomed 1,850 exhibitors showcasing over 14,500 exhibits and we hope that this year’s competitive exhibit program will also shine brightly. We consider it a privilege to showcase the talents of our community through the competitive exhibits program. We are very excited for the return of Grandstand Events this year including the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Rodeo on September 10-11 and two nights of concerts/events including Billy Currington (September 14) and Vince Neil of Motley Crue (September 15). The arena will then transform for the final weekend of motorsports which will include Truck and Tractor Pulls (September 17) and two nights of Demolition Derby (September 18-19). I want to extend our heart- thanks to the volunteers, staff, and community groups who work tirelessly each year to make the Fair a memorable experience for the whole family. We encourage you to return to the Interstate Fair to view your handiwork on display (hopefully with a special rosette attached) and to enjoy the rest of the experience including the food, rides, vendors, animals, and entertainment. From all of us, good luck on your entry and thank you for your continued support of the Spokane County Interstate Fair…we’ll see you in September!

Lot 38 – Quilts of Valor Block Contest Additional Information

2020 Winning QOV Quilt Block Debra Holmes of Otis Orchards WA

The Spokane Interstate Fair is pleased to partner with Quilts of Valor to create a special Quilts of Valor Block Contest. The Quilts of Valor Foundation began in 2003 with a dream. Founder Catherine Roberts’ son Nat was deployed in Iraq. According to Catherine, “The dream was as vivid as real life. I saw a young man sitting on the side of his bed in the middle of the night, hunched over. The permeating feeling was one of utter despair. I could see his war demons clustered around, dragging him down into an emotional gutter. Then, as if viewing a movie, I saw him in the next scene wrapped in a quilt. His whole demeanor changed from one of despair to one of hope and wellbeing. The quilt had made this dramatic change. The message of my dream was Quilts = Healing.” Today over 220,000 quilts have been given to U.S. military service members and veterans who have been touched by war. Volunteers donate their time and materials to piece the tops and quilt the life-time awards that state through their beauty “Thank you for your service, sacrifice, and valor.” Quilts are quilted, not tied, and the first QOV was awarded in November 2003 at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center to a young solider from Minnesota who had lost his leg in Iraq. The mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation is to cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor.

All quilt blocks will be donated to the Quilts of Valor program at the end of the Interstate Fair. The blocks from the 2018 Interstate Fair were crafted into a beautiful quilt and awarded to Spokane Interstate Fair Steam and Gas Superintendent, Myron Fuller on September 11, 2019. Mr. Fuller served in the United States Army and is a World War II Veteran. In 2019, 20 quilt blocks were donated…thank you! All blocks created must be red, true white, and blue. Patriotic prints in the same colors may also be used. Block should measure 12.5” as sewn and will finish at 12” when area Quilts of Valor volunteers put the quilts together. Quilt blocks should be pressed carefully. We would like to thank our exhibitors in advance for being a part of such a wonderful program honoring those that have served. Our hope is to have enough blocks submitted this year that we could help generate at least 10 quilts! For more information on this organization, visit their website at www.qovf.org.

CLASS 22 – CROCHETING CONTEST CLASS 23 – KNITTING CONTEST CLASS 24 – WEAVING CONTEST CLASS 25 – TATTING CONTEST

Here is an opportunity to test your skill and to compete for ribbon awards and cash prizes. Exhibitor must work by themselves at all times. Contestants must have completed and returned an entry form to the Fair Office by or before August 10. Contestants must come to the Fair Office for an entry ticket between 8:45 and 9:15 a.m. on Thursday, September 16. Contestants will receive admittance to the Fair with their contest supplies in hand. Only those pre-entered will be allowed to compete. After entering the Fair, report to the Home Arts Office prior to 9:45 a.m. The Fair will provide neither directions nor instruction. There will be breaks for lunch and other breaks. Contestants will be judged on their compliance with rules and on their finished article as to workmanship, beauty of design, general appearance, and time consumed. Contest will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 16. Contestants may enter in more than one lot. Yarn may be wool, cotton, or other yarns. Contestants will choose and bring their own yarns and needles, both of which will be considered by the judge. Articles are to remain on display for the remainder of the Fair.

Awards will be given according to the American System, therefore one first, one second, and one third will be awarded in each lot. A Special Award in knitting, crocheting, weaving, and tatting will be awarded if one is judged worthy of the honor. A participation award will be presented to exhibitors that participate in either contest for the full duration of the event and do not receive a placing.
