Do you love decorating for holidays and special occasions? Are you the friend who is known for throwing extravagant parties? Do you love a creative challenge? If you said “yes!” to any of these questions, our Tablescaping competition is for you!
The challenge is to create a tablescape according to one of two themes (classes). One to two people are allowed per team. You will set up your table while fairgoers watch. Once the time is up, our judges will judge each entry based on set criteria and award first through third place. Put on your creative hat and amaze us with your tablescape!
