Homemaking Show

UPDATES:

Notice to all participants of the San Patricio and Aransas Counties A & H Homemaking Show.

My name is Peggy Ring, I am the new superintendent for the Homemaking show. Feel free to contact me at any time if you have questions or concerns. On top of having a new superintendent, we are starting a new process/system for entries. This year is bringing many changes to the Homemaking show. I will work diligently to get all the information about changes to every participant. If you know of someone that is left out of the loop, please let me know.

Below are the changes that are being implemented. These items are the only changes to the rules that are on the website.

1.        Each club/chapter is no longer limited to a maximum of five (5) entries per class.

2.        Entries must be entered into the Showorks program by January 10, 2025, 5 pm.

3.        Each entry costs $1.00. This fee is to be paid by the entry deadline.

4.        Each leader/Ag Teacher will turn in the exhibitor’s entry sheet, summary sheet and monies to Peggy Ring or Sandra Knox (at her office, Farm Service Agency in Sinton).

5.        Parents and exhibitors may now bring in their own entries. Leaders or designated representatives are no longer required to submit all entries but may still do so if the club/chapter chooses.

6.        The process of checking in entries is changing too. Division entry cards will not be completed ahead of time. Do not put exhibitors name on item being entered.  Labeling will be completed when exhibitor brings entry to check in.
