Help us celebrate America’s 250th Birthday with a Flower Planter Contest! 🌼
Create a planter you’re proud of and enter it for a chance to be displayed around the fairgrounds. Whether you’re looking for an excuse to plant a few extra flowers or already have a beautiful container garden on your deck, we’d love to see your creativity in bloom! 🌸🌿
REGISTRATION: Pots can be dropped off Tuesday July 28, 5pm - 8pm at the Becker County Fairgrounds - Open Class Exhibit Building. Planters will be numbered so the entrant is anonymous to the judges.

PRIZES:
• 1st Place: $100 + Commemorative gift
• 2nd Place: $75 + Commemorative gift

•No Artificial Materials: Only live, fresh plant material is allowed in the planter. Embellishments are welcome on the exterior surface of the planter.
