***ONLINE ENTRY REMINDER**** – Online entries are available for most OSF livestock entries, and youth are encouraged to enter online vs the paper entries. Once the online entries close (midnight June 20, 2017) and Barb Prince, Entry Department, has them entered in her database, she will send a county list of youth entered to each applicable county 4-H educator for verification that these youth are members in good standing in their respective counties and eligible to show the animals they have entered. Verification must be returned to Barb before the youth are permitted to show at the Ohio State Fair.
