Create. Craft. Compete!

Posted on 4:30 PM by Unknown
Do you love to be creative? Or do you have hundreds of “pins” on your Pinterest boards that you have been meaning to try? Whether it’s fabric flowers or a purse made from a map, there’s no better reason to begin creating than the 300+ arts and crafts competitions at this year’s Fair!

From woodworking to weaving, Origami to photography, stained glass to sewing, we showcase the talents and creative diversity of Ohioans and offer thousands of dollars in cash prizes!

The following are the competitions classes you can enter for a chance to win cash prizes:

- Antiques and Antique Appraisals and Collectables

- Fashion Arts
- Handcrafted Arts
- Needle Art
- Wild and Wacky Art

There are also hundreds of divisions within each class, which means there is a competition for every skill level, whether you are a novice or an expert. Some of the divisions include: art pottery, antique jewelry, crochet, holiday decoration, scrapbooking, knitting and even Brillo Pad Art! Check out the “Armabrillo” submitted at last year’s Fair!

There’s even a division called “Artistic Upcycling - Recycled Creations.” Entries in this division include materials that are used for purposes other than their original use or remade into an object. Look at the wallets made from used cartons that we found on Pinterest! Can you think of other creative ways to turn your trash into treasure? 

Don’t miss this perfect opportunity to change your “potential” Pinterest projects into completed ones! The deadline for all entries is June 20. Please visit http://www.ohiostatefair.com/index.php/competitionsfor a complete list of competitions or to download an entry form. To enter online, please visit http://ohioa.fairmanager.com/. Good luck!

Things are getting pinteresting

Posted on 9:44 AM by Unknown
That's right, the Ohio State Fair has officially joined Pinterest, and our pin boards just keep growing! Here's a peek at what you'll find on our Pinterest page:

Ribbon-worthy recipes
We're scouring the Internet for mouthwatering recipes, and sharing some of our very own favorites from previous Ohio State Fairs (like this 1986 blue ribbon carrot cake or this 2011 award-winning fresh blackberry pie).

Fairtastic photos
By searching "Ohio State Fair" on Pinterest we stumbled across some amazing shots of rides, food and tradition for this collection - from engagement pictures taken by professional photographers to impressive Instagram snapshots.

Backyard beauty
While we may be months away from spring planting, it's never too early to find ways to beautify your backyard (and think about showing off the fruits of your labor in the agriculture and horticulture competitions at the Fair!). We've found clever ways to repurpose items for gardening - like a skid planter, rain boot flower pots and a log planter.

Fair food
We can't neglect the delectable deep-fried Fair treats! We're compiling a board of food featured at the Fair, like deep-fried Kool Aid, the doughnut burger and chocolate-covered bacon on a stick - also known as a "muddy pig" - all pictured here.

March is arts and crafts month!

Recycled cardboard tube farm animals
For me, this means carving some time out of my busy schedule to break out the glue guns, paint and sewing machine for some DIY projects.

I scoured my new favorite social media obsession, Pinterest, and decided that I MUST make my own chalkboard paint, could spruce up the office with these adorable farm animals made from cardboard tubes, and need to get ready for garden time with a handy garden tool caddy.

Which crafts are you working on? And are you planning on entering any in this year's Ohio State Fair Creative Arts competition?
