The LLQG is inviting entries now to give quilters time to prepare for the show.
The deadline to submit entry forms is Aug. 13, and quilts must be ready for display Sept. 29.
Entry forms, instructions and details are available from the LLQG Web site at www.LLQG.org/LLQGEntryForm2011.pdf or contact Julie at 707-349-0846.
Quilters may choose to have their quilts judged for a small fee, or to enter quilts for free without judging.
Many quilters find it beneficial to have their quilts judged, learning much from an impartial evaluation. The judge will award ribbons in several areas.
Show organizers expect to display about 250 quilts in this show, which will be held at the Lake County Fairgrounds Oct. 1-2.
Among the quilt show’s other attractions will be the works of featured quilter Ann Horton of Mendocino County, vendors, prize drawings, a silent auction, and the Country Store boutique.
LLQG welcomes all quilters, prospective quilters, and quilt lovers to its meetings and events.
For more information about the quilt guild, contact Donna at 707-262-1201, or visit the Ladies of the Lake Quilt Guild Web site at www.LLQG.org.

Line up begins at 8:30 a.m. At the Lake County Fairgrounds off Martin Street in the ball fields.
Parade Chair Lonne Sloan and her volunteers have worked hard rounding up raffle prizes for the 'participant only' raffle held following the parade.
This is a California State Horsemen's Association sanctioned parade so all members of CSHA can earn points by entering. CSHA Judge Kim Cipro will officiate.
The 82nd annual Lake County Rodeo Grand Marshal, Patty Patten of Scotts Valley, will be immediately following the Color Guard.
The parade is open to equestrians, antique tractors and farm equipment and a special group, the Pet Parade participants.
The parade route is Martin Street to Main Street, north on Main to Ninth Street and returning on Main to the fairgrounds. Spectators will have two opportunities to see all the entries.
Entry forms are available at www.lakecountyrodeo.com or contact Lonne Sloan at 707-349-0829.

The 2011 California State Fair will be held July 14-31 in Sacramento.
The event's “100 Golden Deals – The Ultimate Coupon Book” contains 100 coupons that can save State Fair visitors as much as $3,000 over the course of this year’s 18-day fair.
For a purchase price of just $5, each coupon guarantees at least a 30 percent discount on fun things to eat, drink, buy, and do at the fair.
The coupon book can be used for repeated visits to the fair, making it an especially wise investment for season ticket holders.
Norbert Bartosik, general manager and chief executive officer of the California Exposition and State Fair said, “This year’s fair theme is ‘The Fun Just Got Bigger,’ and so did the savings and values.”
Bartosik continued, “We know that consumer pocketbooks have had to withstand higher gas and food prices this year. 100 Golden Deals can help offset those expenses. Thirty percent savings on food and fun makes this year’s fair a terrific value for families. Fairgoers will easily recap their $5 investment during their first visit to the fair.”
“From great fair foods like corn dogs and fried Twinkies to automobile polish, light up t-shirts, pony rides, and caricature drawings, 100 Golden Deals – The Ultimate Coupon Book gives fairgoers a chance to have more fun on less money,” he added.
A sample of the coupon book is available to view online at www.bigfun.org.
Printed on 100 percent post-consumer recycled paper, 100 Golden Deals- The Ultimate Coupon Book, can be purchased online or at the Main Gate Box Office between noon and 6 p.m. The coupon book became available for purchase on June 27.
