The 2025 Wisconsin Association of Fairs Convention theme is: “Fair Family Reunion, a place to catchup and relish!" We are asking all fairs to decorate a centerpiece using the convention theme and bring it to convention. We will have them on display for the opening session and then also used as centerpieces for the banquet. The winners will be announced at the business meeting on Wednesday.
We are asking that you decorate your centerpiece in a format that best represents your fair and the convention theme. There will be two types of judging, People's Choice Ballot and a Panel of Judges.
A people’s choice ballot is included in everyone’s convention registration packet.
The panel of judges will look for the following:
- 40 points: Use of theme (include your 2025 Fair Dates & Name)
- 35 points: Originality
- 25 points: Craftmanship
Since we have a picnic theme, this year's centerpieces should be in some type of basket and everything needs to be securely attached or contained in the basket so it is easy to move. Size restrictions are not to exceed 18 inches by 18 inches by 18 inches tall. If you have any lights or moving pieces, the on/off switch must be easily accessible by the committee so we can turn them off as to not distract when we have presenters.
Limited to one entry per fair. Please RSVP by December 31 using the link below to let us know if your fair will be bringing a centerpiece.
Thanks and have fun! We are so excited to see what you create.
