THANK YOU
Vera Cox “Excellence in Quilting” AWARD Vera Cox was an exceptionally gifted and talented quilter with an unwavering dedication to the art of quilting. In honor and tribute to Mrs. Cox the Collura Cottage Exhibit judges will be giving this award to the quilt that best represents a Vera Cox quilt. Vera, who passed away in 2012 was admired by everyone that knew her. To own a Vera Cox quilt is to own a piece of history and a treasured heirloom. A Rosette ribbon, will be awarded to the entry that is considered superior by the judges.
F. J. Collura “MOST CREATIVE” AWARD A special award was established in 2013 as a tribute to F.J. Collura, the son of a fair founder who grew up at the fair and followed in his father’s footsteps as a fair supporter. He served as board president, general manager and was director emeritus at his death in August 2012 at age 67. The Collura Cottage Exhibits are housed in the Collura Building named in honor of his father, Joe Collura. F. J. was a kind, caring, community minded individual and truly one of a kind.
