(hõm ärts): The traditional handiwork of home makers.

ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

Make yourself at home in the Home Arts department! Come join the busy bees who make potholders and quilts, jams and jellies, cakes and pies, and any of the other household creations you can imagine!

If you have a family recipe that you are proud of, you are welcome to compete in one of the many cooking competitions; cooked either on-stage or prepared beforehand.

If you like to sew, cook or you are just an all-around Suzy Homemaker, now is your chance to show off, and win fame among your friends and family! It’s all good fun and entering is a snap! Just check the Entry Guide on this website for all of the details!
