We look forward to seeing you soon at The Granite State Fair at the Rochester Fairgrounds in Rochester, NH!

We would like to thank you for taking the time to read The Granite State Fair Handbook. Carefully review your favorite department. Every entry comes with a Division or Class number found under the name, which will correspond with your entry. These have been placed numerically so they should be easier to find when entering. Please be sure to register all of your entries before you click "submit". There are directions for submitting entries under Exhibitors, Learn to submit entries. If after reading the instructions, you still have trouble registering, call Bonnie DuBois, 603-767-6970, for assistance. If you don't remember your password, use the reset password button. It will give you a temporary password to use and then you can reset it. For a printed copy of the Handbook, go to the bottom of the Exhibitor page, under the Exhibitor Handbook and Submit Entries link, "Prefer to access the PDF version of the Handbook? You may access the PDF Handbook here." Click on the second sentence. For those not comfortable with computers, a PDF version means it's printable.
