We're missing the agricultural fairs this year, so the Gihon Valley Hall is summoning its Grange roots — and some help from our friends at Lamoille County Field Days — to host a Blue Ribbon Harvest Contest.
Are you a squash specialist, eggplant expert, watermelon whiz-kid, apple ace, king of kale, or tomato titan? Then drop off your very best home-grown fruits and vegetables* at the Gihon Valley Hall, 5503 VT 100 in North Hyde Park Village, on Friday September 18 between 3 and 7pm. Our panel of experts will be judging the products and the public can stop by to view the entries and winners on Saturday September 19 between 12 and 4pm.
We will award Blue, Red, or White ribbons to all entries. One "Best in Show" ribbon will be awarded to the best of the best along with a $100 cash prize!
Visitors to the exhibit can also partake in our pie sale to raise funds for the Gihon Valley Hall's ongoing renovation.
Contact Liz Courtney with any questions at gihonvalleyhall@gmail.com or 917-648-6050.
There is no fee to enter or to visit the exhibit. Please wear a mask. Parking is available just north of the N Hyde Park post office.
*Products will be judged on size, shape, cleanliness, uniformity and freedom from disease and insect damage. Avoid over-mature products. Entries and prizes can be picked up on Saturday between 4 and 5pm.
