Hartford Fair Junior Fair Exhibitor Photo ID Portal Now Open

by

Hartford Fair JUNIOR Fair Exhibitors may submit a photo for their fair photo ID. Photo must be a front view of the entire face, ideally with a neutral background. No hats or sunglasses are allowed. When you upload the photo, you will need to include the exhibitors name (please use the name that they are enrolled in 4-HOnline (4-H members) or the name that was submitted to the fair office (FFA, Scouts, Steer Pool) and birth date in order for us to easily be able to match the photo with the correct exhibitor.

PLEASE NOTE: The fair IDs will only be used for junior fair exhibitors to collect their premiums from the Intel Premium Bank during the week of fair. Their admission pass for the week will be separate and will be sent directly to the email that is listed in 4-HOnline (4-H members) or was submitted by their advisors (FFA, Scouts, Steer Pool). Exhibitors will NOT be able to use their fair ID to enter the gates. More details will be coming out soon about admission passes.

If an exhibitor does not submit a photo through the portal linked below by Friday, July 21, 2023 at NOON, they will not have a fair ID. This just means that they will be unable to collect their premiums from the Intel Premium Bank. A parent or advisor with their drivers license will need to pick up their premiums instead.

Junior Fair Exhibitors can submit their photos through this portal: https://www.lobbytrack.com/c/hartfordfair

Below are some examples of pictures and why they would or would not be acceptable:

LAST CHANCE: Hartford Fair Entries DUE!

by

All Hartford Fair entries must be completed through the FairEntry portal this year. Please follow the Hartford Fair Entry Instructions when making your entries. Entry deadline is Monday, June 26, 2023.

Please note:

  • The Hartford Fair Entry Portal can be found by visiting: http://hartfordfair.fairentry.com

  • Please be sure to review the Hartford Fair Premium Book to ensure you know which Classes and Lots you will be making entries for before you start that process.

  • All 4-H families must use their 4-HOnline Credentials to log into FairEntry. If a member creates a new account in FairEntry, they will be unable to make entries in Junior Fair Departments as those departments require them to be enrolled in the appropriate 4-H project in order to make entries.

  • All FFA members will make their entries through their FFA advisor.

  • Please make sure that you add all entries to each exhibitor in your family before you submit the entries and continue to the payment portal.

  • The process for submitting a photo for an exhibitor fair ID as well as exhibitor gate admission will be sent out once entries close. You will not submit an exhibitor photo when making entries, that will be a separate process.

  • You can check your entries by logging back into FairEntry. You can select each invoice to view it to review which entries you have made. You can also see that status of your entry to see if it has been approved.
  • This is a new process and we know that there will be errors or glitches that will need solved. Please reach out to us if you run into an issue, and please have patience as we work through any glitches.

STILL PROJECT MEMBERS:

  • When you make your entries, you will need to know whether your club has decided to do a club booth in the 4-H Center. If you are unsure, please ask your advisor before completing entries.
  • You will need to select JR CLUBS SCHOOLS. You will then select 118.JB: 4-H INDIVIDUAL. If your club is having a club booth, you will select 01: INDVIDUAL EXHIBITS (CLUB BOOTH). If your club is not having a club booth, you will need to display your project in the Miscellaneous Booth. If that is the case, you will need to select 02: INDVIDUAL EXHIBITS (MISC BOOTH). Repeat these steps to add additional entries for still projects until you have the number of still projects entries that matches the number of still projects you plan to display in the booth.
  • If your club is doing a group project, please be sure to include that project in your number of entries. For example, if you are doing 409 Sew Fun, 492 Cake Decorating, and 091G Discover 4-H Group Project, you would make three Individual Still Project entries. You will NOT list your specific project names anywhere.
