pieces, otherwise known as "junk," will be provided.

at 8:00 am on Thursday, March 1, 2007. A $5.00 deposit will be required,
which will be refunded when the buckets are turned in at the Fair.
Contestants will be checked periodically to monitor their progress and
answer questions. If their project has not been started by May 1st, the
bucket will be reclaimed and the deposit will be refunded. The bucket
will then be made available to another contestant.
