Growing Aces Media Growing Competition
Showcase Your Green Thumb!
The Erie County Agricultural Society is hosting a competition that is tied directly to its mission statement by showcasing a piece of agriculture. Each year, the Erie County Fair showcases thousands of entries from photographs to cucumbers to steers. We invite you to be part of the all new, Growing Aces, a growing competition exclusive to media personality participants. The program will run from late May until early August.
In partnership with Eden Valley Growers, we will provide you with the “Growing Aces Kit,” complete with the materials necessary to grow your plant; for 2025 we are growing Hungarian peppers! You don’t have to be a growing expert. All you need to do is supply the location, care and the water. Eden Valley Growers will also provide you assistance during the growing process.
Pending the guidelines we receive for the Erie County Fair, entries will be on display inside the Ag-Grange Building for the length of time they are in prime condition.* Entries will be judged to receive 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Top score will be awarded the 2025 Growing Aces Champion with a ribbon and an engraved gardening tool set compliments of CUTCO!
We ask that you provide various updates throughout the growing season, including photos on your social handles with #ECFGrowingAces (including pick up, planting and the various stages of growth and what you have been doing with the plant).
Plants must be dropped off to the Ag-Grange Building on Monday, August 4th between 1:00 and 8:00pm.
