2026 Fair Entries

• Required entries: All animal, small engine, and club booth board projects must be entered by July 22.

• Families that entered entries last year do not need to create a new login.
• New 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.
• Only online entries will be accepted for all animal, small engine and club booth board entries

If you are only entering Gold Building items, (classes 1-38, 40, 59-60) advanced entry using the online system is encouraged but not mandatory. In-person entry will be available during check-in on Wednesday, August 5th for gold building exhibits. Exhibitors choosing not to pre-enter will complete their entry forms for gold building entries only at that time.
