2021 Cowichan Exhibition
Cowichan Beekeepers Encourages all Members to enter this Event.
Why? by entering you are learning how to prepare products for sale/use and you are getting feedback from judges. This helps to improve quality/standards and education surrounding products from the hive locally. Don't worry about winning, the feedback and experience is something that will benefit every person who enters. There are prizes and sponsors for people who enter that are not listed in the Cowex Catalogue.
1. All entries must be submitted as described in person to the Cowichan Exhibition or on-line (paper work).
a) Honey is Category "E"
b) All hive product Entries are Section "1"
c) The Classes are "events" to enter and they are judged separately.
d) A Novice is not an age. Novice is new to competing in Exhibitions.
2. All Entries must be submitted to Cowichan Exhibition Mellor Hall September 17th 10am-5pm.
Executive is collecting Entries in Mellor Hall:
10 -1pm -- Carol Newington
1-3:30pm. -- Marie
3:30-5 pm Ian Low
We need volunteers to supervise the displays and entries.
As a supervisor you would be answering questions to the public about beekeeping, the displays and representing the Cowichan Beekeepers. Sometimes your answer may be, "I don't know." A display will be set up along side the entries, and we are having 2 station supervisors for every 3 hours. Please sign up to supervise. Supervisors are provided with a free pass to the fair for that day.
