Hand Made Quilt nets $525.00 for the Federation


Belle City Amusements purchased the quilt at auction. The quilt was


made by Irma Stokes from the Citrus County Fair in Inverness. Irma has been a Fair Director for 3 years. She grew up in Citrus County making quilts with her mom, participated in 4-H and wanted to give back to the community. She is an active 4-H leader of a sewing club. Quilting and teaching kids is her passion. Irma has attended the annual Federation meeting for the past 3 years. Last year she watched as auction items raised funds for the Federation and she thought ―What could I do to help make some money.‖ So she decided to invite all the Fairs in Florida to either make their own quilt square or send her a logo or a t-shirt. Three Fairs sent completed squares, 20 others sent logo‘s. Then she made a square with the Federation logo and placed it in the center. The quilt was awesome! She put a lot of hard work into this quilt. The bidding on the quilt caused a lot of excitement. Several Fairs were


trying to win the quilt, bidding against each other. Belle City was the win- ning bidder. Thank you Miss Mary. Irma was excited that the quilt was a success. Thank you Irma!!!
