Latah County Fair Recycled Art Contest
Get creative for the upcoming Latah County Fair recycled art contest sponsored by the ReStore.
The Latah County Fair recycled art contest is returning for 2026, and we are absolutely thrilled to invite all local artists to participate! Proudly sponsored by the Palouse Habitat ReStore, this year’s creative theme is “Sweet Second Chances.” This contest challenges our community to look past the surface of discarded everyday materials. Instead, you will transform these items into spectacular, sweet-themed masterpieces. It is a brilliant way to celebrate environmental sustainability. Furthermore, it showcases the immense creative talent hidden right here in our region.
