All entries are free and confined to any public school from Ashtabula County.  Any work exhibited must be from students since September, 2009, and must have been produced since that date.  Entries must be submitted from the school by their designated representative as approved by a school official.  Booths should be completed by Monday, August 9, 2010, before 5:00 p.m.  Schools participating should notify the OSU Extension Office (440-576-9008) by June 1, 2010, before the close of school if they wish to exhibit.

     Displays from grade K - six may include examples of writing, penmanship, poems, arts or crafts.  Booths of grades seven - twelve may include examples of Language Arts, Social Studies, Computer Expertise, Arts, Crafts, Industrial Arts or Home Economics.  Schools may also wish to include pictures of their school, special projects, academic or scholastic achievements.  Spaces will be allocated on a first come-first served basis.  Displays are to be removed Monday, August 16, 2010, between 8:00 a.m. and noon.

     Displays will be housed in the Ashtabula Fairgrounds Expo Center and the rules for that building will be followed.  Nothing may be fastened to the walls of the building.  The booths are brown pegboard and six feet wide.  They are four feet deep and eight feet high on three sides.  No electric outlets are available.  The front of all booths will be covered with chicken wire six feet high.  Each school should have a sign identifying the school, and, if necessary, the building or grade level.  The Department will exercise care but cannot be responsible for any loss to exhibits.

     It is our wish that Ashtabula County Schools can show examples to the public of the many positive educational opportunities our schools have to offer.
