Miscellaneous Notes:
There was no Fashion Show at CC20. The Fashion Folio was delayed in printing, causing a delay in selecting designs for reproduction.
The Single Pattern Contest was held Friday evening during the Social, and was judged by Folkwear Patterns. Photos of the event are missing from the Costume-Con Archives.
There were entries in the Doll Contest, but photos and a complete list of entries and awards are missing from the Costume-Con Archives.
The Progress reports and other publications did not include the rules for the two main competitions. If you have a copy of these rules, please pass them on to the Costume-Con Archivist.
