Important Update for All Livestock & Static Departments

There will be no premium paid for unentered projects. Online entry is exhibitor’s opportunity and responsibility to enter projects they wish to show at the county fair by the deadline of July 2. If a project is unentered, the exhibitor will receive a no premium ribbon placement, meaning they will not receive payment for the ribbon.
