Day four of the Fair is here! Today, we have the 4-H Poultry Show, Beef/Sheep Weigh-in, Master Showmanship Contest, and 4-H Goat Show.

07/11/2026

Remember we have our Mandatory Livestock Meeting for all 4-H exhibitors showing beef, dairy, goats, sheep and swine at 12:30 PM today! Bring all your paperwork to this meeting, as we will check registration papers, entries/scratches, health papers, and livestock records. We will also be handing out Exhibitor Numbers, Auction Nomination cards (MUST be turned in by 6 pm on Monday), Stall Cards, and Auction Stall Cards.

(Rabbit and Poultry Exhibitors will get their livestock records and entry/scratch checks done during their show's check-in.)

4-H Livestock UPDATE!!

We are combining the Mandatory Livestock Meeting and the Health Paper/Registration Paper/Exhibitor Number check into ONE meeting! Bring all your papers (livestock records, registration papers, health papers) to the MANDATORY LIVESTOCK MEETING on SATURDAY, JULY 11TH AT 12:30 PM.

To help with this change, we have created a handy checklist with all the livestock check times below.

Thank you for your understanding as we make this adjustment!
