HOMEMAKER HAPPENINGS
Cultural Arts Entries
|
The Green River Area Homemaker Council voted to move the cultural dates for our area so items can be viewed at the Area Annual Meeting in the fall. So, if you have any cultural arts items made or if you plan to make any you have some time! Cultural arts items for Daviess County are due to the Daviess County Extension Office by August 1st by 4pm. Please have the category and sub-category ready when you turn them in. They will be judged at the county level (displayed at the county annual meeting on August 6th) and the blue-ribbon winners will go on to the Area Annual Meeting where they will be displayed and judged again to determine the ones that will go to state at the annual KEHA state meeting in May, 2025. Categories are included in this newsletter and you must be a paid Daviess County Homemaker member to enter. |
