Fair Entries: Now Open for 4-H'ers
Tolland County 4-H Fairboard is accepting both online entries and paper entries this year, however we strongly encourage youth to register via our online entries site.
Important Entry Details:
-
Required entries: All animal, small engine, and club booth board projects must be entered by July 26th.
-
This is a completely new online entry system, so all members must create a new account.
-
For households with multiple exhibitors, only one account should be created. Individual exhibitors can then be added within that household account.
-
-
Be sure to follow the class listings in the fair book to ensure accurate entries.
If you are only entering Gold Building items, advanced entry using the online system is encouraged but not mandatory. In-person entry will be available during check-in on Wednesday, August 6th for gold building exhibits. Exhibitors choosing not to pre-enter will complete their entry forms at that time.
If you have any questions regarding fair entries, contact the Entries and Tallies committee via email at fairbook.tollandcounty4h@gmail.com
