When I started here I had a goal to have an entry in all divisions of the 4h Indoor Fair. The exhibits haven't shown up, but preregistered that is something in every division including crops and home grounds. Last year we had 660 entries, this year we could possibly have 760! I am so proud of all of you 🍀

Remember fair tags are ready to be picked up.

Entry day is Tuesday from Noon to 6pm and Wednesday from 8am to Noon for 4-H exhibits only.

For entry day, if you want to be here to help put things out and direct traffic, I welcome any and all volunteers.

A FEW TIPS FOR YOUR INDOOR EXHIBIT TAGS:

Know how many items you entered.
You will receive your tags along with a packing list of all your entries.

Attach tags securely.
Tags can be attached using string, zip ties, tape, or pins.

When possible, place the tag so it is easy to see when hanging.
This helps during check-in and judging.

Fold the bottom of the tag up to hide your name.
After judging, tags will be unfolded so names are visible and you can brag about what you have done!

The bottom of the tag is a perforated piece.
Tear it off and keep it for your records.
