CAPS FOR CANCER
ENTRY INFORMATION All caps will be donated to “Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center” for distribution to cancer patients. They will be delivered after the Fair. All caps will be on display during the entire Fair. NO CAP WILL BE SOLD OR GIVEN TO ANYONE. ALL CAPS MUST BE DONATED TO ATRIUM HEALTH WAKE FOREST BAPTIST COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER. • Exhibitors are encouraged to donate additional caps, which will be on display. • Caps should be made of soft, stretchy fabric such as fleece to be more comfortable. Cotton, Bamboo, and Tencel work very well for caps, specifically those used to make baby yarn. Some acrylics and synthetic blends are also very soft and work well. No chenille yarn should be used. • Because caps and beanies will most likely be rubbing against the scalp of the person wear- ing them, you need to make sure that the yarn won’t be scratchy or uncomfortable to wear. Example, using wool can be rough or scratchy. • The recipients will sleep in caps; therefore, the yarn shouldn’t be “lumpy”. Do not tie yarn together as knots irritate the scalp. • Avoid caps you can see through, as they won’t protect from the sun or mask hair loss. • Patterns can be personal choice of the exhibitor. • Caps should be machine washable and dryable. • All entries must be brought in good condition. Who can enter? Residents of North Carolina and the following adjacent counties in Virginia: Carroll, Patrick, and Grayson. Where will my exhibits be displayed during the Fair? Event Center “Education Building” (Building B) see the map on page 12. When will my tags be mailed out? All tags will not be mailed out until after September 1 .
