Cash prizes for the kids' contest - reminder drop off is tomorrow Friday 8-11am at the Carstairs Curling Rink. Thank you to Edward & Sandra Shaw of International Quality Forage & Feed for your sponsorship towards the cash award for the flower & vegetable sections. Ed’s parents, Betty & Alex helped bring the original show to fruition. We are grateful to have the opportunity to carry the show forward in this renewed format this year with a focus on juniors ❤️

Also huge thanks to the many volunteers for all your help setting up tables , Carstairs Co-op and public library for letting us display our posters and colouring sheets, Carstairs Elementary for helping us get the word out, and the Carstairs Ag Society for continuing to support this friendly competition. Examples of some fun categories include seed art, lego sculptures, rock painting, mud pies, fairy gardens, and all things baking 🍪🧁🎂.

In the past this event has been contributed to by many in the vibrant homeschool community in our area, and is also open to all youth in the Mountain View area - we thank you for your support and participation ❤️

Also as a special bonus - this year we will have a special pop up bake sale table with a few scratch made items such as delicious and nutritious morning glory muffins and tasty haystack cookies. Thank you Jackie!!

Thank you to all the amazing parents for helping and supporting your littles ones in this contest. From providing feedback, filling out forms, driving entries there and so much more - the learning which grows between parent & child in this process is invaluable.

Hopefully there are a few entries!!🤞Learn more:

Unicorn carrot anyone?🥕The Make, Bake & Grow Kids’ contest is *this* Friday! Drop off time is Friday August 15th 8-11am at the Carstairs Curling Rink & viewing is this Saturday 11-4pm.

This event celebrates the creativity and growth of all Mountain View area youth, ages 17 and under. For those who have participated in the past, it is the junior section of the Horticultural & Craft Show.

This carrot is an example of a novelty vegetable grown in Carstairs years ago - I wonder what novelty vegetables there will be there this year???

Feel free to encourage your children to enter something growing in the garden, something they have made already, or to create something special. There are also categories for items which do not fit into the smaller categories.

If you don’t have time to print out the form and tags, there will be paper copies available during drop off this Friday.

Team/group entries are a new option this year. Categories for ages 5 & under, 6-10 and 11-17. Cash prizes available. Details in website or rulebook:
