There are several payment options for the entry fee. Entry fee can be paid for by cash, check, or charge. You can volunteer a minimum of 4 hours in lieu of paying the entry fee. If the Teacher has entered the child’s project then please ask the Teacher how payment is to be made. Some Teacher’s will collect the entry fees from the parents in advance and then forward them to the Mastodon Fair. Some schools also have fundraisers to subsidize the entry fees so that the parents do not have to pay.
