Located in Hodge Exhibit Hall
Chair: Nancy Howe
· All exhibitors must have an exhibitor's number which can be obtained in several ways: Thursday or Friday at the Hodge building Thursday, Oct. 10 from 5-7 p.m. or Friday, Oct. 11, from 1-3 p.m. (Please note this is a change for 2024) the fair office (603-284-7062) or email
info@thesandwichfair.com. Be sure to include your complete mailing address with zip code.
· Late entries will not be accepted. Entries must remain at the exhibit hall until 5:00 p.m. Monday when they may be picked up until 6:30 p.m. Vehicles will not be allowed on the grounds until
6:00 p.m. Monday.
· Entries should have simple labels and new lids. Labels are to be placed on the front of the jars, and must have ONLY the exhibitor #, category #, category name and processing date. Exhibitors name must NOT be visible but may be on the BOTTOM of the jar if desired. Each jar must be separately listed on the "Entry Form", which can be obtained on this page or by calling the fair office or the night of drop off.
· Canned goods are not opened and are judged entirely on appearance of jar and contents. Color, uniformity, packing, bail height, etc. as stated in the Ball Blue Book. Rings are removed and lids inspected, so excessive decorations hinder judging. Listing ingredients on a separate label is optional. Please leave rings on the lids and make sure that all labels are securely attached. Jars should be clean and neat. All canned goods must be current year's canning. Old style flip lids with rubber ring seals are not acceptable and will be automatically disqualified.
· Exhibitors with multiple entries are encouraged to stop at the Fair Office and pick up your exhibitor tags before the fair. This will save time on the night of drop off, as each jar needs its own tag. If you are unable to get your tags ahead of time, they will be available at the canned goods department Thursday, Oct. 10 from 5-7 p.m. or Friday, Oct. 11, from 1-3 p.m. (Please note this is a change for 2024)
