*** It is important that you have a plan for project pick-up. Your chapter has two options. First, you can pick up your project directly from the fair. If you plan to do this you must let the SkillsUSA Ga office know as we pick up all projects and take them to 2re for pick up. Second, you can pick up your projects at 2re. SkillsUSA Ga will not keep any projects that are not picked up. However, we are happy to mail your chapter their winning ribbon. And don’t worry- we will make this reminding announcement at Rally!
