Lodwick Takes Best of Show at Meigs Fair Domestic Arts Contest

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio – Each year at the Meigs County Fair crafters and artisans enter the various categories in Domestic Arts to show off their skills.

Domestic Arts this year included sewing, crocheting, knitting, quilts and afghans, rugs, needle craft, dolls, crafts, scrap art, ceramics, wood art, basket weaving, and miniatures. Miniatures was a new category to the fair. From crafting to sewing intricate quilts, the entries are displayed in the Rutland Bottle Gas Domestic Arts Building for all attending the fair to see.

The Best of Show went to Karen Lodwick for her woven basket. The Reserve Best of Show went to Carrie Rose for a miniature fair scene of the dairy barn.
