We know you have put many hours of work into your projects and we respect you for this dedication and commitment. We also want to recognize the families, teachers and sponsors for all the help they have given you as you prepare your items for the fair. We are excited to showcase your talents!

This is the 158th year for the Douglas County Fair!! Sporting a new date, new location, new logo and new direction, the Fair is excited to welcome all. From our GrowUms contest for elementary school students to the talent competitions, the Fair is open to YOU, the people of Douglas County and beyond. This is YOUR fair and we want you to be a part of it.

We encourage you to enter as many projects as you are able and then come down and show off your projects to everyone you know as they are on display during the Douglas County Fair July 21-23, 2016 at the Crossroads Mall at 72nd & Dodge Streets. We simply want you to have a great time and keep coming back. We will continue to grow and strive to make your experience a good one that you will never forget.

DIVISION 10 – UPCYCLING TEXTILES

Entry Description Example: bl den bag beaded for a bag made out of blue jeans and embellished with beads. Upcycling is a way of processing an item that has fulfilled its useful life to make it better than the original. It is not a new concept. In the 30’s & 40’s families reused almost everything, repurposing items over and over again until they were nolonger useful. Upcycling is popular again for different reasons. Today upcycling:• keeps unwanted items out of the waste stream.• offers opportunities for creative expression.• is a way to make a family keepsake out of a textile item we’ve saved because it has special meaning. Write a story to pass on with the keepsake.Overview of Division: The focus in this division is on upcycling textiles (anything that is made of fibers (plant, animal, mineral or synthetic), yarns, or fabrics). Exhibits may be created from:(1) Non-Usable Textile Items: items that are no longer useful because they are old, tattered and torn, stained, outof-style, don’t fit and just not usable in their current form. Items include, but are not limited to: garments, accessories, neckties, jeans, quilts, table linens, curtains, sweaters, and afghans.(2) Bits and Pieces of Textile Materials: leftover from previous projects – things you’ve saved that have not previously been made into something useful.
