Pre-Fair Entries: Due July 4th

Each York County 4-H member planning on exhibiting items at the 2025 York County Fair will need to fill out a pre-fair entry form. These forms are due to the Extension Office by 5 pm Friday, July 4th. Reminder we are closed on Friday, July 4th so if you need assistance, you will want to come in on Thursday, July 4th or sooner.


Please list ANY and ALL items you are considering to bring to the fair as exhibits (you can find the online Fairbook HERE). You are not held to bringing all of your pre-entry items, but you will not be able to exhibit something you did not mark down. Items will be entered and tags printed within the following couple of weeks. Watch Blast and Social media to see when they are ready for pick-up.



Clover Kids do NOT need to write down all items being brought, but if you would like your name in livestock programs, please capture those events down.
