Horse project members, the horse arena is in fairly good shape despite all the rain we have had. We will hold a work out tonight and work on stuff as the condition of the arena allows once horses/ ponies start moving around in there.

Question of the week: 🍀?🍀? I have some fair exhibits I know I need to enter in Fair Entry by certain deadlines. Can I enter my animals now and get in to Fair Entry later to enter my photography projects? 🍀?🍀?

Yes! We encourage you to log in and out of Fair Entry as many times as you need. There are three critical date deadlines for Fair Entry depending on your project areas. We realize that sometimes you won’t make final decision until close to those deadlines. We encourage you to log in, register the exhibitors in your family, answer the entry questions about stalls, and then you can start adding specific classes as you know them.

Remember the Washington County Fair fair entry website is http://washingtoncounty.fairentry.com Remember all livestock/animal/communication/surprise design exhibits must be entered to Fair Entry by July 1. All other non-livestock/static exhibits are due to fair entry by July 15.
