Fall Fair Art

Did anyone else spend an unusual amount of time in the line-up for both delivery and pick-up of Fall Fair art items?  I'm sure the fair board will be reviewing the process and therefore find ways to make the process more efficient next year.  In the meantime, I couldn't help but notice the reduction in overall art participation.  The adult works were crammed together as though one giant lego project, while youth works seemed thin on the other side.  In fibre arts, submissions were definitely reduced.  I would love to come up with a wonderful way to increase the quantity and quality of works submitted, but alas, I can barely compose a legible blog after a weekend of 30+ degrees and too many mini-donuts.  I think that the enormous group of volunteers at the agricultural association would appreciate anyone of any background getting involved to help them move this fair forward.
