 Changes  to  this year's  "Share  Fair"  

 The Share Fair’s changing! Over the years some of the "posters" at our Share Fair have become very creative. By viewing YCC posters everyone has learned a lot about what other Youth Councils have been up to and how they serve their communities. To accommodate Youth Councils who want to "go all out on their displays" we will have an open category along with the traditional category. The traditional category will be a flat poster display. The open category includes three dimensional displays. Councils will vote for the best display in each category.
