FairEntry will be opening June 5th and will close July 10th. Fair Entry is different from Animal ID. FairEntry is the computer program families use to register their exhibits for the Carlton County Fair. All enrolled families will receive a fair letter with volunteering opportunities for the Carlton County Fair, Trophy Sponsor Forms, and information about the Blue Ribbon Auction. To enter your project in FairEntry please check out this FairEntry Family Registration Quick Guide. County Fair Premium books and fair registration paperwork WILL NOT be mailed out. The 2025 Carlton County Premium Book is available online or if you would like a printed copy mailed to you, please complete the Carlton County Premium Book sign - up.
