Rules and Regulations for Bucket of Junk Contest
Bucket of Junk Contest
Lyon County Fair – Rock Rapids, Ia
1st Place $50.00 – 2nd Place $25.00 3rd Place $10.00
Anyone over 18 years old is eligible to enter this contest. We will provide a five-gallon bucket of unique pieces, probably otherwise known as “junk”. All the buckets will include the same number of items and be as close to identical as possible. There will be a $10.00 deposit per bucket due when the contestant received the bucket. The deposit will be returned on Entry Day, when you return the bucket and your creation. You will not get your deposit back if you do not make some type of creation.
You can clean, sand, weld, blue, cut, bolt, fasten, bend, shape, paint or finish the items that were provided. BUT no pieces can be added. Create whatever you want with the contents of your bucket. The goal is to use all the items in the bucket.
The five-gallon buckets will be available beginning June 19th. They can be picked up from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at the new fair office at the fairgrounds. There will be a limited number of buckets available, so please call early. First come first served. Any questions or concerns please contact Diane Peters at 712-479-2272.
Entry day will be Monday July 26. All entries need to be at the Lyon County Fair Office by NOON that day. We ask that you please bring back the bucket so we can continue this contest next year. When you leave you creation at the office, you will be asked to name it.
Please take your creations home Wednesday evening July 28 after 8:00 pm.
