2023 Custer County Fair Online Entries
COUNTY FAIR ENTRY PROCESS!
We will be using an online entry process using the ShoWorks program to make County Fair 4-H entries. There will be county fair information emailed to 4-H families, so please be sure to check your email regularly. If you would like to provide our office with an updated email or add an email, give us a call.
Online Entries are DUE at http://custer.fairwire.com by 5:00p.m., Friday, June 30.
Consult the Custer County Fair Premium Book for department, division, and class information. Premium books are available from your 4-H organizational leader.
2023 Online Entry Instructions: It would be beneficial to print off these instructions prior to beginning to make online entries.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO REFER TO THE 2023 CUSTER COUNTY FAIR PREMIUM BOOK WHEN MAKING ENTRIES!
- Check the list of 4-H projects that you are enrolled in. You must be enrolled in the project you intend to exhibit in. To check the projects you are enrolled in, you must log in to your 4-H online account.
- READ THE RULES FOR THE NUMBER OF ENTRIES ALLOWED IN YOUR PROJECT AREA(S).
- Double check the classes you are entering to be sure the class number in the premium book is the same class number you are intending to enter online. Make sure the class you entered is really your intended entry. You have an opportunity to review the classes entered before you submit and finish. You will also have the option of logging back into your account to add more entries until 5:00 p.m. on June 30.
- If you have questions, or need assistance, please give our office a call and ask. The ShoWorks system will shut off at 5:00 p.m on June 30.
- There is a cost to our county for using this system to make online entries. The 4-H Council has graciously agreed to cover those costs. Please submit the entries that you intend to complete. Just be aware that “extra” entries made that you probably won’t complete will be an expense to the 4-H Council.
