These are the 41 scarves we received from the Oklahoma State Fair this year. What a great collection! Thank you to each person that took the time to create a scarf and donate it through the fair.

It was pretty neat to be able to see them all together at our Work Day on Sunday and really check them out and think about how we thought they were created.

It’s tough to get a good picture of them at the fair. Especially this year, they were pretty crowded in the display case. But I tried. Here it is:

We also got a close up of the “Best in Show”. This one received a lot of attention when we were together looking at them Sunday.

At pickup, the fair representative told me that next year they may need to find a bigger section in the display for us! What a great challenge.

Any scarves made starting now that the fair is over can be submitted next year. I hope you’ll keep that in mind as you continue crafting and planning on what to create and donate to comfort others.

One of the special things that has come from being part of the State Fair is that new people learn about the work we’re doing. Two years in a row now, we’ve had people find their way to our monthly work day after learning about us at the State Fair. I consider that a huge success!

As always, please join us if you can! Whether you can join us or not on the first Sunday of the month in Edmond, you’re welcome to create scarves and get them to us to be packaged and delivered to the YWCA so that they can provide comfort.

Registration for the Oklahoma State Fair Creative Arts Competition has begun!

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 receives a cool ribbon for each entry, and they even judge the scarves and award place ribbons to the ones they determine to be the top 10.

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 us to deliver your scarves to the fair for you, please register and then bring the scarves to our work day on August 5th. We’ll have your ribbons for you to pick up at our October 4th meeting.

We hope you’ll join us at the fair!

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.

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.

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.

Please remember to check out the details and register online by August 15th if you’re able to enter a scarf (or 3) this year!
