TENT JUDGING Judging is the format for choosing the best-decorated tents.
Three Judges will award tent decorations. There will be 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place winnings.
This is not mandatory, only for fun and it is your choice if you want to participate.
RESTRICTIONS Advertising signs are not permitted to be placed in ground around your tent such as “donated by”, “catered by”, or “advertisement and campaigning” signs.
Croquet makes a sign to hang in front of your tent with your business name or family name.
These signs all look alike.
You are permitted to hang a backdrop from the back side of your tent to go along with Tent Judging and Decorating. It may pertain to your business but in good taste.
