FairEntries are due tomorrow! Get them done ✅

Junior Fair Exhibitors: FairEntry is now open for Junior Fair Class Entries! FairEntries are due by June 15th! ‼️🍀

Please see the graphic below that explains the difference between 4-H Online and FairEntry and why they are both necessary for exhibitors to complete. A reminder that exhibitors need to enter all their projects and classes - including market, breeding, and showmanship! Non-Livestock Projects, Cloverbuds, and 4-H Adult Volunteers DO NOT need to register in FairEntry.

FairEntry can be acessed at: https://fairentry.com/Fair/SignIn/23209

Exhibitors will need to log in with their 4-H Online accounts. If you cannot remember your password, you can reset it using the reset password option.

A reminder to add ALL exhibitors in your family AND ALL of their class entries before hitting submit!

Rabbit & Poultry Exhibitors: Because you do not have tattoo numbers or leg bands until after the FairEntry deadline, please input 000 as the tag numbers until after those animals are ID’d. Once ID’d, we will be able to adjust the entry to reflect the correct number. 🐰🐔

Contact us with questions! We are here to help! Step-by-step instructions can be found on the 4-H Online & FairEntry help page here: https://jackson.osu.edu/program-areas/4-h-youth-development/4-h-basic-info-how-join/4-h-online-fairentry-help
