2024 Hamilton County Fair

Sarah Jensen

Prefair entry is now open!

Prefair entry is when you tell us exactly what you are bringing to the fair (the zucchini you grew, your Hamilton County Raised Steer and your No Bake Cookies- HINT- you will need the 2024 Hamilton County 4-H Fairbook!). This is different from enrollment and Livestock ID Sheets. Please note per the 2024 Hamilton County 4-H Fairbook: "STATIC - Entries (Except Plant Science) will need to be pre-registered with the Hamilton County Extension office. Plant Science entries will be entered at Static Drop off. Entries (excluding Plant Science) not pre-registered will not be considered for top awards and may be dropped a ribbon placing."
You can go online: https://hamilton.fairwire.com/ or drop off paper copies at our office. Paper forms can be found here: go.unl.edu/hamcoforms Prefair entry is due July 10.
