We'd like to answer a few which come up every year. As for when an exhibitor should be there to get the most out of the Fair - as much as possible.
Lunch is provided on judging day.
On the other days exhibitors bring their own or try one of the snack stands or restaurants in the park. We'd suggest something old and washable when putting up and taking down the display, something good for judging, something special for the Awards Ceremony and regular school clothes the rest of the time. There are usually as many judges as there are exhibitors. Most interview students individually, a few in groups. A special Sweepstakes team interviews the contenders selected by the regular teams.
