Butler County residents had a chance to exhibit various items during the 2019 Catfish Festival with entering their items in the Butler County Open Division Contest.  Categories included canned foods, baked goods, quilts, stitchery, paintings, drawings, breads, clothing, along with many others.

Residents entered their projects during the Open Division Contest entry day, with all items being judged for work, creativity, and overall appearance.  Items received ribbons, and all were exhibited during the Catfish Festival at the Eva Hawes Ag Building.

Great job to everyone who participated!  Ribbon Winners include:
