  • To help make that happen, at the Fair we'll have afternoon photo sessions by division; we ask the students to be at their exhibits during their session, and we'll send photographers around to take their pictures.
  • You can help too: If you take pictures at the Fair, we'd like to see them. You might get a better picture than ours, or one we missed altogether.
