Pierce County Fair Ornament Contest

Create a Christmas ornament with a special Fair theme and then enter it as part of this year’s Fair exhibit! Choose a festive Fair theme from the list of lots and let your creativity shine.

You can enter up to two ornaments in each lot. Anyone can enter any of the lots. The ornament must fit the lot description (various departments at the fair).

Your handcrafted ornament will be displayed during the Fair in the Grange Hall as part of the Agriculture Feature Exhibit, adorning one of several festive Christmas trees. After the Fair, these decorated trees—will be donated to the Mary Bridge Children’s Festival of Trees, supporting care for local children and families through MultiCare Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital.

Dates: November 29–30
