The Oregon state fair had a change of officials a few years back, and a representative came to our lace meeting. She asked us what categories and judging rules we wanted. We wrote them out right then... and the fair actually used them. They were very similar to my county fair.
The state fair has separate Divisions for tatting, for bobbin lace, and Romanian lace. I don't remember where Needlelace fits in. This year's state fair listing is not yet on line, but here's my local county fair listing. Bobbin and Needle Lace Division Doily or mat, under 6" Doily or mat, 6-14" Large item, over 14" Bookmark Ornament Motif Garment accessory Edging under 1 1/2" (Note...may be attached to an item, or alone) Edging over 1 1/2" Handkerchief Fan or 3-D item Picture Scarf Jewelry Original design Any other Tatting Division Shuttle Tatting Small item, under 6" Large item, over 6" Edging, under 2" wide Edging, over 2" Bookmark Garment accessory Any other Needle Tatting Small item, under 6" Large item, over 6" Any other By the way, Oregon state fair is limited to Oregon residents, so I can't invite you all to enter.
