We know for many Guild members the MN State Fair Creative Activities competitions are one of the high points of the year. They’re our chance to show off what we've been working on over the year, check out all the work by other amazing knitters, grumble about judging and displays, and hopefully take home a coveted rosette. With the 2020 Fair cancelled, the Guild has decided to fill that gap with the "No Fair" Competitions.

While we would love to have all the categories the Fair has each year, we know there is no good way for us to judge the workmanship of all your wonderful knitting virtually. So, we've decided to have a little fun with it and come up with our own categories, keeping it a little more tongue-in-cheek. We hope you have some fun with it too.

We will show off all entries and announce the winners at our virtual "No Fair" Awards Ceremony, also known as the September Guild meeting, Tuesday, September 15th from 7 to 9 PM. Winners will receive a custom MKG "No Fair" 2020 Rosette and a year's membership to the Guild.

Read all the rules and about the categories in the "No Fair" 2020 Premium Book.
