Fair Entry Emails

The Washington County Livestock Committee has purchased a program that will be used at the Washington County Fair, Waterford Fair and Barlow Fair to help us with our shows and sales this year.  This program is an online entry system for our livestock shows and showmanship classes.  We have been diligently entering all the livestock animals into the program.  Once the entries are complete it sends an email to the family letting them know their entry was successfully processed.  Exhibitors do not need to do anything with the email.  And if you did not receive an email you are fine as well.  All entries are being made ahead of the fair to help make the shows and sales at the fair run efficiently.  If you receive an email and have a concern you may call to inquire about the entry at the extension office.  740-376-7431.
