As the contest winner, Griffin will receive a pair of tickets for Gate Admission to the Rockingham County Fair for all 6 days plus a pair of tickets for EACH event in the Pepsi Grandstand for the 2017 Fair. Ashley Adams submitted the same theme idea several days after the winning entry and she will also receive gate admission to all 6 days of the 2017 Fair.
