Exhibitors - Sandwich Fair

Enter and Display

WHAT TO ENTER?

Just to name a few… Your personal collections, foods, pumpkins, flower, ceramics, amateur photography, clothing, art, just about ANYTHING from your garden, livestock (rabbits, sheep, goats, dairy, etc.), and on to the Demo Derbies and pulling contests!

You can watch many exhibits being judged and see them on display throughout the fair week.

***2025 information will be out in early Summer. Please use the 2024 information below for reference. All dates move forward one day compared to 2024.

The 2024 Exhibitor Guide has all the information you need to know about what categories are available and how much the premium awards (the dollar amount) are paid for the categories when you place (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.).

Some of our favorites:

Old license plates
Old family photos
Wasp nests (no live wasps allowed)
Star Wars Pez dispensers.
There’s so many categories it might be easier to say what can’t be entered at the fair!
