Tatting Registrations of Entries: due July through August.  Go to the SC State Fair page for online entry.

Volunteers: We can always use volunteers at our SC State Fair to work our booth. We are there ALL day, from 9 to 9. We work in 2-hour shifts. We mostly demonstrate tatting, sharing our love for the art. We also share the little pieces of tatting that have been so graciously donated. We may even do a little teaching of tatting.
