Clay Report post Posted April 27, 2009 I am happy to announce that the Central States Fair held in Rapid City SD will have a structured leather contest for the 2009 fair. Previously leathercraft was lumped in with the other arts and crafts with one class, meaning the person who made a tooled belt was up against the person who made a saddle and for best of show they were up against the beadwork and needlecraft. Now the leather contest has 29 classes and youth to master skill levels. This contest will be sponsored by the Dakota Territory Leather Guild. Members will be demonstrating their leather craftsmanship each day during the fair. The guild is planning in the future to have a trophy for the best of show and peoples choice winners. There has been talk of a rodeo style belt buckle and a tooled leather plaque. I believe that the members from Nebraska and Wyoming will be able to enter their work, I will confirm this and let every one know. If you are interested in entering your work please call 1-877-800-1853 Monday to Friday 9-6 mountain time, for more information. ClayM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
