First and second places will be awarded in each division from each town category, and each participant will receive a participation ribbon. First place will advance to the finals held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 13. In the fi nals, cash prizes of $125 and $50 will be

awarded to the first and second place winners in each division. We look forward to seeing you at the Pierce County Fair!
