Before your child can take the projects or exhibits to the fair, an official entry must be made. We would encourage you to get the details by reading the fairbook or consulting your Extension Staff. At the State Fair, most 4-H activities occur the week before and during the Labor Day weekend. Projects exhibited at county fair can be selected to represent your county at the State Fair. In addition to exhibits, the State Fair offers several competitive events for 4-H members, aged 12 and up.
Some competitive events require qualification at a county level and often require a small entry fee.
