           ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A new contest was created for the 2010 Freeborn County Fair  and anyone over the age of 18 years is eligible to enter.  We will provide a five-gallon bucket of unique pieces, probably otherwise known as “junk”.  All the buckets will include the same number of items and be as close to identical as possible.

There will be a $10.00 deposit per bucket– due when the contestant receives the bucket.  The deposit will be returned on Entry day, August 2nd.

 

You can clean, sand, weld, glue, cut, bolt, fasten, bend, shape, paint or finish the items that were provided, BUT no pieces can be added.  Create whatever you want with the contents of your bucket.  The goal is to use all the items in the bucket.

 

The five-gallon buckets will be available beginning July 6th at ALBERT LEA STEEL,  1126 S. BROADWAY, ALBERT LEA  from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily.  There will be a limited number of buckets available, so please reply early.

 

Entry Day will be Monday, August 2nd.  All entries need to be at the Freeborn County Fair Office by noon that day.  We ask that you please bring back the bucket so we can continue this contest next year.  Creations will be judged that afternoon and will be auctioned off on Saturday night, August 7th at 5:30 p.m.  PLEASE NAME YOUR CREATION.
