Antelope Valley Fair Entries ~ PLEASE Read and Share

Howling Wolf Leather · July 6, 2009

The Antelope Valley Fair has not had a leather division in years, The Leathercraft Guild contacting the fair in regards to setting up a leathercraft division for adults that would have classes under it as it is with other fairs. BUT for the first year of them bringing back leather to the fair having a class in another division is a positive step forward.

They made the decision to have 1 class called leathercraft in the handicraft department and division because they have not had many entries in the past the fair, BUT depending on the amount of entries and interest may add a division with many classes for leathercrafts next year.

Let's show the fair administrators that there is a love for leatherwork in California and have them add this craft to the handicrafts department every year with it's own division and items broken down into classes such as books, pictures, holsters, etc.
