Bucket of Junk Contest
1st Place: $50 - 2nd Place: $25 – 3rd Place: $10.00
 

A new contest was created for the 2004 Butler County Fair and we had such a great response we decided to do it again! 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 receives the bucket. The deposit will be returned on Entry day.

You can clean, sand, weld, glue, 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 1st .
 Please call Clint Sharp at 319-346-2701 (evenings) to make arrangements to get your bucket. There will be a limited number of buckets available, so please call early.

Entry day will be Thursday, June 23rd . All entries need to be at the Butler County Fair Secretary’s Office by Noon that day. We ask that you please bring back the bucket so we can continue this contest next year. Creations will be judged that afternoon during the Senior Citizens Activities.

When you check in your creation at the Secretary’s Office, you will be asked to name it. All of the creations will be auctioned off to the highest bidder either Friday or Saturday evening.
Buckets #1 – #4 will be auctioned off on Friday night and Buckets #5 – #8 will be auctioned off on Saturday night.
