There were about 75 people who entered the many categories in the home arts and horticulture section of the BCNE this year.
People could enter several categories including arts and crafts, needlepoint, writing, photography, preserves, honey, flower arranging and vegetables with criteria that was covered in a 52-page document that even included the judging points of a bale of hay.
On display in the Kin Centres there were things like photographs, baked goods, art, vegetables and an extensive quilt display.
"If 100 people would enter two items that would bring the fair back up," said Shirley Gratton, a lifetime member of the heritage commission that put on a display in Kin 3.
"This is the history of Prince George and this is how the fair got started."
Gratton said she watched as a little girl discovered that her picture got a second-place ribbon.
"She was so excited," said Gratton. "And every entry is special and the display this year is really nice - we just need more of it."
