The Rodney Fair is debuting the Online Rodney Fair Exhibition. This “community-oriented” event will be the temporary place-holder of the traditional fair exhibition for this year. With no entry fee and potential prizes, there are eight classes planned for the Online Rodney Fair Exhibition which include: Field Crop Competition, Grain and Seed, Fruits and Vegetables, Creative Crafts, Flowers, Photography, Antiques, and Junior Fair.
We want to still be able to provide a fun way for the community to showcase their talents and accomplishments, and to be able to celebrate that — even if that means it is in a non-traditional format.
The categories may take place at different times, so those interested in any of the classes should check our website and social media regularly for announcements .
For most classes, unless otherwise specified, exhibitors are to submit a photo of their entry to the Rodney Fair website, Facebook page, or by email at rodneyaldboroughagsociety@outlook.com.
Any entries or participation by exhibitors 13 years or younger will be provided with a virtual entry into the annual bike draw that is sponsored by The Natterjack Brewing Company.
Each month, a new category will be chosen and announced HERE.
Participants will have until the LAST DAY of THAT month to submit their photo.
Only ONE (1) entry per month permitted.
Photos submitted will be sent to be judged WITHOUT participant name.
WINNING PHOTOS will be posted here WITH photographer’s name attached.
ALL PHOTOS WILL BE INDEPENDANTLY JUDGED BY A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER
Rodney Aldborough Agricultural Society will not be responsible for permissions required for images posted to the Rodney Fair website OR Social Media page.
Photographers, please make sure you have permission from any person(s) in your photos before submitting.
ALL photos MUST have been taken by the entrant, and NOT have been entered in any previous Rodney Fair.
1st place winner each month will receive a DAY PASS for ONE (1) to the next Rodney Fair and their name and photo posted on the Rodney Fair Facebook page and website.
