The counties were able to access a variety of information about the State Fair to meet entry deadlines. Again, this year, the State Fair catalog changes for the 1999 State Fair will be posted on the 4-H Web Page in January, 1999. Additional information, such as invoice sheets, student worker information, and deadline key will also be posted in the Spring of 1999. One change that counties should be aware of is that Lot 6008, Dairy Goats will be dropped beginning August, 1999. A committee of agents, and other Extension professionals recommended that the 4-H Dairy Goat show be dropped, due to low participation.
Youth still have the opportunity to participate in the State Fair's open goat show.
It was cost prohibitive to continue. We are unaware of any other major changes for the 1999 State Fair which will be held August 19-29. Takedown is Monday, August 30. All forms can be typed directly on the web page and then printed. Forms cannot be electronically sent back to us.
