FairEntry will open soon for all K-12 Porter County 4-H members. Members’ exhibits must be entered by June 26th! (Please note that the deadline is typically June 25th but has been extended this year due to it falling on a weekend.)
How Do You Complete the FairEntry Process? A step-by-step guide on the FairEntry process is available at the bottom of this page and includes a listing of projects that guides you to the correct Departments/Divisions in FairEntry.
What is FairEntry? FairEntry is an online site that works along with 4HOnline to help volunteers and staff prepare for and manage exhibits and animal project shows at the fair.
- Exhibit hall project exhibitors will specify what they intend to bring to the fair for exhibit. The information members enter generates exhibit tags, and creates the database used for managing judging, results, State Fair entries, and more.
- Animal project exhibitors will specify which of their animals will be exhibited at the fair; during the FairEntry process family members will need to specify which 4-Her will be showing which animal, and those decisions will become final on June 26th. The info members enter helps superintendents make pen assignments, aids our show data team in show set-up and results management, and assists the Celebration Sale committee in putting on an amazing auction for livestock members.
Animal project members will receive more detailed information via email soon and via postal mail ASAP with all the information needed to complete the process. All components of that mailing are also available for download below.
**Update– please read**
Swine– Do not sign up in FairEntry for Swine Showmanship. You will enroll with the day of check in at the Fair.
Dairy & Goats– When signing up for additional classes such as herd classes and daughter/dam classes please put the entry in once. We understand that there are multiple animals shown in those classes but we need only one entry into that class to show that you’re going to be participating. As far as animal selection goes just select one of the animals that would fall into that class and choose one to fulfill that spot.
