*Part of your participation in this event is that we ask that you bring your creation to the Touch of Dutch Festival on Saturday, August 13 between 6:00am-10:00am to be displayed at the Touch of Dutch Festival for all the visitors to admire. Your creation will need to be picked up between 5:00pm-8:00pm on August 13th or it will become the property of the Touch of Dutch Festival. Winner need not be present to win, however; you won’t get any of that hot Dutch Guilder to spend at the festival if you aren’t there. The Touch of Dutch Festival committee reserves the right to refuse any creation for good cause.
