Virtual Fair 2020

Welcome to the Bob’s Market Virtual Fair! With many county fairs being canceled this year, we thought we would give you an opportunity to show off your quarantine projects. Did you take up a new hobby while you were cooped up this spring? Now is the time to show it off. Over the upcoming weeks we would like you to send in photos of any projects you have completed since August 1st of last year. Please note the entry method below and contest rules so we can give you proper credit and send out your award if you win! (Yes. There will be ribbons!) This contest is open to anyone in the USA to enter per our standard contest rules.

Of course there is one caveat to our socially distanced, virtual fair. You’ll have to submit photos of your projects by email. … Sure you could mail stuff in, but that might be kinda awkward when we get to the livestock portion of the contest. Instead, take a photo and send it to ask@bobsmarket.com with “Virtual Fair 2020” in the subject line by the due dates below. Be sure to follow this email format:
