Most CDE events are open to the public and some of the most public CDE events are: Floral Arrangement - Be My Valentine. Landscape Exhibits - Heirloom Garden.
Can't come and see the 2 days of competition? Stop and see the FFA Corsage Makers action! Located in the Farm-A-Rama building, each day, a FFA chapter arrives at the Fair to make corsages for Fairgoers and march in that day's parade.
