Fair Pass Order Forms

Fair pass order forms are due to the Extension Office by 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 3rd.

You may drop off order forms in person to OSUE or scan/email to mitchell.2642@osu.edu

Head Advisors must complete the fair pass order form and attach their club roster, with the names of club members and adult volunteers who are eligible for a fair pass. Please mark out the names of any individuals who have not met the minimum requirements. Once your roster is confirmed, the Clermont County Ag Society (aka Senior Fair Board) will prepare your passes.

You will be notified when they are ready for pick up at the Senior Fair Board office. Fair passes must be picked up by an adult advisor, not a youth. Payment will be due at the time of pass pick-up. Please make checks payable to the “Clermont County Ag Society.”

Help support Clermont County 4-H by working a shift in the 4-H Outpost during the fair.

The Outpost is THE fundraiser for the Clermont County 4-H Advisory Committee!

Money raised allows our 4-H program to offer many opportunities for our youth including:

  • scholarships
  • camperships
  • youth/volunteer celebrations
  • stater kits
  • project awards
  • so much more!

We request that each club work 1 shift during fair week. There must be at least 8 youth who are 12 years or older, 1-2 adults at the register, and 1 adult griller. Younger members may be permitted to help with the filling of drinks, but the older members are able to meet the ability requirements more easily.
