DIXON, CA -- From Farm to Fair is the 2017 theme of the Dixon May Fair and whether you grow animals or produce, there is a category of competition for you. Add in home arts, art and photography, floriculture, and any other interests you may have and there’s a chance to win a blue ribbon at the Fair. The annual Dixon May Fair Exhibitor Guidebook, now available, is chock full of ways you can compete.

The Dixon May Fair, May 11-14, is the oldest continually operating Fair in California. The exhibits program, and the quest to earn a Blue Ribbon, is a highlight of the Fair and is a showcase for community talent.

Entering the fair is easy and can be done online at www.dixonmayfair.com or by picking up an Exhibit Guidebook at the fair office or the following locations: Solano County 4-H office in Fairfield, at the Travis Air Force Base Library, Dixon Public Library and the two Vacaville Libraries. The Guidebook can also be viewed online and entry forms downloaded at www.dixonmayfair.com.

Entry forms and fees for most categories must be received by the Entry Office before 5 p.m. Friday, April 14. Floriculture Cut Flower entry forms are not due until May 5, which will allow gardeners to choose the best from their flower beds.

Submitting entry forms in advance allows building superintendents to plan for the exhibit space required. Most actual exhibits are not due until just prior to the Fair. A complete receiving and judging schedule is included in the Guidebook. Certain divisions such as theme gardens and vignettes have a limited number of spaces available and entries will be accepted on a "first-come" basis.

Visit www.DixonMayFair.com for more information and the complete Guidebook. For assistance call the Fair at 707.678.5529.
