Open Creative Living

Location(s): 

Calling all bakers and makers!

Open Creative Living is Boulder County Fair's open class competitive exhibits, that means EVERYONE can enter! Any age, any home address, any anyone. Take a look at the fairbooks listed below and find the division that best fits your skills. If you are a baker, Division 106 is for you. A gardener? Check out Divisions 102 and 104. We've got divisions for artists of all sorts. Each fairbook explains a division's class list, and all exhibitors of a given class compete with each other for ribbons, awards and bragging rights. All creative projects are on display in the Exhibit Building throughout the duration of the fair. Information on how to register can be found below.

It's free, it's fun, it's for everyone, and you might even win something too! ~ We can't wait to see what you can do!
