Judges will examine entries, award ribbons and give expert advice during the annual Open Class Judging at the Dodge County Fair. Listen to the comments from the Judge, ask questions and talk with other exhibitors for tips to learn and improve your own skills. If you are curious about becoming an exhibitor this is a great opportunity to learn more about the many categories.  What items have you entered for exhibition this year?  Post your results and experiences of being an exhibitor as a reply in the comments section below.
