REMINDER: 2025 Quality Assurance Trainings

Our next Hartford Fair Livestock Quality Assurance (QA) Training for 2025 will take place next week! Any junior fair exhibitor that plans to show livestock at either the Hartford Fair or Ohio State Fair MUST complete an approved QA training by June 1, 2025 in order to be eligible to show in 2025. Please review the Junior Fair Livestock Quality Assurance Guidelines for all requirements and a list of approved trainings. Please ensure you have a plan to either attend an in-person training or complete the online YQCA module BEFORE June 1, 2025.

Our next county-wide program will take place on Tuesday April 22, 2025 at 6:30pm at Northridge High School.

SPECIAL NOTES:

  • Photos for fair IDs will NOT be taken at QA programs in 2025. We will have a process similar to last year where members will be able to upload a photo themselves instead of having photos taken by fair staff. More details on that to come at a later date!
  • Only Licking County 4-H/FFA Quality Assurance Programs will address program changes and updated for the Hartford Fair. If you choose to attend another QA program or complete the YQCA online module, please ensure that you are watching for updates through the Licking County Extension and Hartford Fair websites and that you check in with your advisor(s) for updates and changes as well.
  • A special thank you to our county FFA chapters for hosting us for these trainings!
