Congrats on the lovely jelly!

In terms of entering the jelly in county fairs, you'll have to check with
each fair. Around here they are all restricted to residents in that county,
but in some areas AIUI it's open to anyone who wants to participate.

Check for other local fairs, too. We have one in Sandwich, Illinois, that I
might enter this year -- I think they are an "open to anyone" fair.

You might have missed the cutoff date for submitting entry forms, so check
your local county first in case the date is fast approaching. I had to get
my form and check in to my local fair in June for the fair which was a week
or two ago.

If you do enter the jelly, be sure to let us know how well it did. We
Ribbon Whores are always interested in cheering for each other.
