The Junior Fair is introducing a new online entry system in 2021 called Fair Entry! Fair Entry is a cloud-based fair management system that helps run the entire fair process – entries, shows and sales. It is offered by the same company that has 4-H Online, our enrollment system. Families enrolled in 4-H will be able to use their 4-H Online log in information to also log in to Fair Entry.
The Muskingum County Junior Fair Entry System, as well as posting of Show Bills, Event Results and Sale Bills is made possible through generous sponsorship from:
- Farm Credit Mid-America/Rural 1st
- Muskingum County Farm Bureau
- Muskingum County Library System
