HOMECRAFT PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
On behalf of the Homecraft Division, I would like to welcome you to the 168th Renfrew Fair. It was great to experience a full fair again after the two years of interruptions due to the pandemic. A very special thank you to all our Directors and Volunteers for their many hours they give to the fair. Our Homecraft directors work hard throughout the year to review and update the various categories. They do this to widen your options when choosing what to exhibit. Please read carefully through this book and choose the items you would like to exhibit in any of the various categories. Encourage your friends and neighbours to exhibit!
Every year we are proud to display the many works of our talented exhibitors. We are pleased to display their work in quilting, floriculture, baking, hobbies, crafts, photography, woodworking, art, bottled goods, junior fair, 4-H, and look forward to new products each year.
Come out and enjoy the sounds, sights, food and fun at the greatest fair in the Valley!
Signe Kubiseski | Homecraft President
