County Fair<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<br \/>\nAll <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lacountyfair.com\/2012\/entertainment\/competitions_AmericasKids.asp\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">contests and competitions <\/span><\/a><\/span>are based on children&#8217;s books, authors, characters and themes in books. Categories are open to ages 3-18. There are so many fun and creative categories to enter, how will you choose? Maybe you&#8217;ll have to enter into them all.<br \/>\nThese are just a few of the great categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mystical, Magical Wizard Wands or Wizard Hats<br \/>\nInspired by Harry Potter and other fantasy stories, make your own wizard wand or hat&#8230;or both!<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.fairplex.com\/blog\/fairblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/treehouse.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-3640\" title=\"treehouse\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.fairplex.com\/blog\/fairblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/treehouse-134x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"134\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Build a Tree House<br \/>\nDesign and build your own miniature tree house and you can start imagining your own adventures just like Jack and Annie from\u00a0the Magic Tree House book series.<\/li>\n<li>Creative Cake<br \/>\nDecorate a cake using any literature-inspired theme. Some\u00a0ideas: books, book characters, famous fictional settings, etc&#8230;.you decide!<\/li>\n<li>Recycled Robots<br \/>\nThis was popular last year. Families build robots from recyclable material.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Sew&#8221; Exciting: A Living Library of Fun<br \/>\nSew something creative like sock book worms, magical capes and cloaks, or\u00a0Ms.Frizzle-inspired fashions<\/li>\n<li>Funny Vampire Vagabonds<br \/>\nIn the Twilight books, the main vampires live in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. In other books, vampires\u00a0live in castles, caves, etc. Since they aren\u2019t real, our little vampire can live or travel anywhere you want him to. Print out our vampire and create an environment just for him.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Like I said, this is a brief list of the many contests and competitions (btw, did you know that contests take place during the Fair and are judged on site and competitions include entries\u00a0that are judged\u00a0pre-Fair and awarded ribbons so you can see what you won when you visit the Fair? Got that? Confused? Me, too). There is also a special contest celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts. Deadline to send in your entry form is June 28.<br \/>\nSo, visit the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lacountyfair.com\/2012\/entertainment\/competitions_AmericasKids.asp\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">America&#8217;s Kids homepage <\/span><\/a><\/span>to find a complete list of categories.
