Helping Survivors of Sexual Assault
Wow! We received some beautiful scarves this year.
It’s always fun to see them displayed at the fair, and to try to find the ones submitted by people I know.
It’s encouraging to see so many from people I don’t know, who find out about us because we’re one of the options at the fair.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in this way this year. We appreciate your contribution to our work and hope you’ll join us again next year.
Registration for the Oklahoma State Fair Creative Arts Competition is open!
It’s free to register to submit your scarves to the competition. They display all the donated scarves together and then we pick them up at the end of the fair.
Everyone who enters one receives a cool ribbon, and they even judge the scarves and award place ribbons to the ones they determine to be the top 10.
Even if you’re not concerned about winning a ribbon, this is a great way to spread the word about the work that we’re doing. It’s pretty encouraging to see them all displayed together at the fair.
Free registration is online now through August 15th. You can submit up to 3 crocheted scarves and up to 3 knitted scarves. The details are all on the State Fair’s website.
If you’d like to participate, we can deliver the scarf to the fair for you, we just need you to register and bring your receipt and scarves to the August meetings, or make other arrangments to hand off the scarf before August 20th.

Thank you to all who joined us at the Oklahoma State Fair. It was very encouraging to stop by the display in the Creative Arts building and see all the scarves there, with ribbons attached.
Before we packaged them on Sunday we spread them out on the table to admire them. There was a great variety of designs and colors. We’re already looking forward to next year!
Just a reminder that we have just one more week to register for the Creative Arts Competition at the Oklahoma State Fair.
I’ve seen some beautiful scarves from 3 of our volunteers, I’m really looking forward to seeing them all on display during the fair this year.
