Review the 2022 Muskingum County Junior Fair Livestock Entry Instructions BEFORE starting your entries.
DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO COMPLETE ENTRIES. IF YOU HAVE ISSUES OR YOUR ENTRIES ARE INCORRECT, YOU JEOPARDIZE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXHIBIT AT THE FAIR.
- If you have questions, ask! If you need assistance with the entry process, contact the Extension Office: 740-454-0144, Jamie McConnell (mcconnell.210@osu.edu) or Debbie Dunn (dunn.257@osu.edu). Staff are not available to help outside regular business hours (M-F, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m., closed for lunch 12:30-1:30 p.m.). The Fair Entry Manager, NOT the Extension Office, reviews entries and approves/rejects them.
- All 4-H and FFA youth must complete livestock entries in order to exhibit in the Muskingum County Junior Fair. THIS IS NOT FOR OPEN CLASS ENTRIES. This is a separate entry from the 4-H/FFA project enrollment due April 1.
- Livestock entries must be submitted online in Fair Entry (muskingum.fairentry.com) by established deadlines listed below, NO EXCEPTIONS. You can use a computer or mobile device, but a computer is recommended.
- Fair Entry will open June 6 for all entries except market rabbits. It will open for market rabbits on July 21.
- All entries are due online by June 30 at 11:59 p.m., EXCEPT market rabbits, which are due July 26 at 11:59 p.m. Showmanship has an earlier deadline this year for the following species: beef, dairy, goat, poultry, rabbit, sheep and swine. There will NOT be showmanship sign-ups after June 30.
- This year, entries will be reviewed and approved/rejected by the Fair Entry Manager as they are submitted. Families receive an email from Fair Entry when entries are submitted – this does not mean the entries are approved. Families should watch for a second e-mail, which will indicate if entries were approved/rejected. If entries are approved, forward this e-mail to your club/chapter leader. If entries are rejected, review the reason and resubmit entries before the deadline.
