How to Enter Your Items in the Fair (Read through the Handbook for full understanding of Exhibitor, Entry Descriptions & Animal Requirement Information)
1. Decide on Open Class or Junior Class
Open Class - You are an adult or a youth who does NOT belong to any Sawyer County youth group
Junior Class - You belong to a Sawyer County 4-H club or a Sawyer County youth group under adult supervision with an education program approved by the local Fair, such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, etc.
If you are a youth in a Sawyer County 4-H Club, you must be enrolled in the specific 4-H project area in which you are entering. Any other exhibits can be entered in Open Class.
For safety reasons, youth must be in at least 3rd grade during the current year in order to exhibit animals in Departments 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108 and 111.
2. Choose correct department
Open Class departments are 001 - 028
Junior class departments are 101- 134
3. Choose correct Class
Many times the class is based upon experience level (amateur, professional, etc.) or breed (animals), Grade level (in Junior), or type of item.
4. Choose correct lot number
Important: You may only enter ONE item in each lot number. Any item entered in a previous Sawyer County Fair is not eligible for competition. All exhibits must be the result of the labor of the person exhibiting.
