This year the Best of Show and the Idea Fair will be combined. The Best of Show will include items from each of the State Granges and each of the Host States will display items from the Junior, Lecturer, and Family Activities Departments. The Idea Fair will include booths showcasing each National Grange Department and our National Grange Partners.

We encourage you to select three items from your State that showcase and highlight the talent within your State Grange. We welcome quilts, paintings, woodworkings, clothing, arts and crafts, knitted and crocheted items, drawings, photography, etc.

Please download the Display Item Report Form.  Please complete this form and make two copies. Please mail one copy by November 1st to: Janet Fulton, Display Room Chair, 214 Harbor Landing, Mooresville, NC 28115. The other copy should be included with the items that are either mailed, shipped or hand carried to the host hotel. If you are mailing your items to the hotel please do not postmark them any earlier than November 1, 2010.

Please note that if you mail or ship items and wish to have those items mailed or shipped back, please include the appropriate postage or shipping fee, checks can be made out to the National Grange. Hand carried items can be picked up on Saturday afternoon or prior to the Celebration Banquet.  Additional details are on the Display Item Report Form.
