SCAVENGER HUNT
Visit the Lions Club booth in the Commercial exhibit hall for a chance to win
some nice prizes.

Get your scavenger list... one per family, and visit the different areas on the
Fairgrounds to find your answers. While some answers may be in plain view,
you’ll have to ‘ASK THE QUESTION” of the person in that area to get the
answer. When completed, turn your answers in at the Lions. Drawing for

prizes will be at the end of each night.

There will be a different list of questions each night, so come to the Fair often
for this FAIR FUN!

STORY TIME AT THE FAIR
The Coalition for Families will host their annual Story Time event at the Fair
th
on Thursday, September 13 at 9:30am. The event is open to parents and
childcare providers of preschool age children. In an effort to increase
awareness for the importance of early childhood literacy and to foster a love
of reading at an early age, children will hear stories and songs during the
event. Each child will receive a free book to take home. Thanks to the
Sanford Lions Club, children attending the story time will also be able to
experience a few of the fair rides, tour the agricultural exhibit hall, and visit
the animals at no charge.

TOBACCO LOOPING CONTEST
Looping was once considered an art…the string had to be tight enough to hold
the tobacco onto the sticks while it was curing and not so tight as to cut the
leaves so they would fall off during curing. Tobacco is looped on tobacco
sticks, and then hung in the barn to cure. Once the barn was loaded, a wood
fire would cure the tobacco for about a week.

Adult and Youth Tobacco Looping Competitions have three-person teams
competing to see who can string a stick of tobacco the fastest and the best.
Prize money and ribbons are at stake! Please see Tobacco Looping Contest
rules for further details. Adult competition sponsored by Crop Production
Services (CPS) and Youth competition sponsored by Central Carolina
Antique Power & Equipment Club (C-Cape). C-Cape will also host this
event.

The public is invited to try their hand at looping and help fill the authentic log
tobacco barn at the Sanford Lions Club Fairgrounds. Tobacco grown and
provided by Lee County’s Steve Thomas Farms. This event take place on
th
Saturday, September 8 , 2018.
