    Thanks for your inquiry Noemi. Coloured pencil crayon art is not included in the Pictorial Art category for this year. I have made a note to include it next year…

  • Fred says:

    Greetings;
    I have registered an entry for the fair but don’t know when and where to drop it off. I am also wondering what a good pick up time would be on Sunday.
    Thanks for your time.

  • Powell River and District Agricultural Association says:

    Hi Coriena.

    Sorry, not this year. We added more classes in various categories this year and unfortunately several of the regulars got missed. We will make sure they get added for next year but in the meantime maybe there is another class that interests you…good luck, see you at the Fair!

  • Theresa says:

    We did not get the hand out for art at the schools, are there any additional rules not listed on this site?
    And which sections have to be grown by the exhibitor?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Powell River and District Agricultural Association says:

    Hi Theresa,

    I believe everything is in the rules listed on the website. The person entering should be the one exhibiting….see you Friday between 12 and 6 at the Exhibit Hall…………good luck
