Section 13 – Home Canned Goods

Competition Details

Send us a picture of your Home Canned Goods exhibits before May 31 2021, by completing the Virtual Fair competition online form (see below). In the photograph, be sure to attach a neatly lettered tag or card with the Section (13) and class in which you are entering it, as well as your exhibitor number. If you haven’t exhibited at Caledon Fair before or can’t remember your exhibitor number from previous Caledon Fair exhibitions, contact the Virtual Fair Convenor and we can supply it to you. As this year will be a virtual competition, the classes will look somewhat different. Instead of bringing your delicious home canned items to us, you will photograph the open jar, with a spoonful or forkful of the canned product on a white plate, then you get to enjoy them at home! Include the recipe in your picture, so that we can see the recipe. If you can’t enter your exhibits online, you can hand deliver or send your photos to Glenda Simeone, 20405 Heart Lake Road, Caledon, ON L7K2A8, post-dated by May 25th. Be sure to put your name and return address on the reverse of the photos and include a stamped self-addressed envelope, and we’ll return them to you. The winners will be posted on our caledonfair.ca website on June 11.

There will be no High Point or Special Awards in 2021. Items which would normally be eligible for District or Provincial Competitions will not be eligible from this VIRTUAL FAIR.
