Fair Guidelines for 4-H Livestock Projects:

  • 4-H & Fair are mutually exclusive. Signing up for one doesn’t sign you up for both.

  • Jr. Fair Livestock entries are due June 7th. This is what gets you entered into the actual Butler County Fair. You can do this online or in person – AT THE FAIRGROUNDS OFFICE. Online will be available after May 13th, 2025.

  • Preferred Parking and Camping forms deadline – June 7th.

  • Open Class Livestock entries are due June 28th. In most cases, you can also show your Jr. Fair Livestock projects in Open Class shows. (This deadline is usually 6 weeks before fair move in day. This year that falls on 4th of July weekend, so the date moved up a week earlier).

  • $75 PER ENTRY late fee – not per club, per family, per person, or per species.

  • Past issues:

    • I thought when I signed up for my 4-H project I didn’t have to do anything else.

    • I gave my entries to my advisor – who had a family emergency the day they were due.

    • I’m on vacation – can you help me do this over the phone while I’m out of town with spotty Wi-Fi, while you have an office full of people?

    • Try to sign up to show a species for Jr. Fair at the fair that you didn’t sign up for through 4Honline.

  • Solution:

    • Do it yourself in person or online a week or more before the deadline!
      (Fair office staff is able to help during this time)

    • Sign up for anything and everything through 4honline that you may possibly bring to the fair to show in the Jr. Fair shows.

    • If you add something later – Open Class is your only option.

  • FAIR ENTRY:

    • New this year we will be using a new entry system called Fair Entry

    • This system uses the 4-H Online sign in – same username and password
      *If you forget your username and password you will need to reset it through 4-H online

    • When signing up you will need an Animal ID: Tag#, Animal Name or Tattoo
      *If your animal does not have a tag # or tattoo you will have to put in an animal name.
