Early settlers in Florida often had to learn to make many of the things that we can buy at the store today, and some became very good at producing high-quality handicrafts and home products. They liked to share their skills and knowledge with their neighbors and often chose to do so by entering their products in the judging contest at the local county fair.
The knowledge, skill, and talent of these future citizens are sure to make you proud. Young people are so creative and we are proud to be able to offer them a platform so they can show off the fruits of their labor.
