Competition Corner – May 2013

The time is now to get your entries ready for the California State Fair.  The deadline is Sunday, May 19th at the Culver City shop.  Thanks to the help of Peter Moran and his buddies, we have a chauffeured service of our entries up to Sacramento.  This means they don’t have to be packed for […]

Registration forms for the 2013 California State Fair competition are due this Friday, May 3rd.  I’d suggest you fill it out NOW and get it in the mail by Monday morning along with a check for the entry fee.  Despite the claim by the Fair organizers, there does not appear to be an on-line registration […]
