In the North Carolina state fair the lace is not exhibited in glass cases. It is simply placed on a table. The table is placed out of reach of fair visitors and is watched by a fair volunteer. However that does not prevent damage. I picked up a lace edged hankie for a friend who had won a ribbon. Someone had looped the string from the ribbon through one of the picots and badly distorted the lace. Since then I always turn in my entries in a frame so that no one can actually touch the lace.
All that being said I always turn something in. I want people to know that the lace hobby is still alive and well in North Carolina. I don't want the fair to have so few entries that they decide they don't need a lace category anymore.
