Dog exhibitors, this post serves as a reminder of some upcoming events that are important for you to be eligible to show at the 2024 Fairfield County Fair.
- The Dog Project Identification Form and Vaccination Certificate (signed by a licensed veterinarian) was due by June 1, 2024, in order to be eligible to compete at the Fairfield County Fair. If you are unsure of the status of this form, feel free to contact Haley Black (black.768@osu.edu) and she will let you know. If we did not have these forms from you, you should have received an email from her on Friday, August 2, with details regarding this form.
- The Agility Contest will be held prior to the fair, the date, time, and location are to be determined.
- There is no Dog Check-In day for 2024. Exhibitors will need to complete Skillathon on Sunday, September 22, 2024. The Skillathon stations are Breeds, Parts, and Ear/Tail Types. If you are unable to attend the Skillathon at the fairgrounds, please see page 25 of the Fairfield County Junior Fair Book for alternative options (#2 and 4), or email me. As a reminder, all exhibitors must complete at least one Skillathon, and if you are planning on competing for Premier Exhibitor, you must complete Skillathons in all species that you plan to compete in.
