Deadline for State Fair General Projects in the 4-H Clover Program
State Fair Exhibit Submission and Pick-up Details
The 2025 State Fair is fast approaching, and here's what you need to know about submitting and picking up your exhibits.
Firstly, if you're planning to participate, you'll need to submit your 4-H project entries through the FairEntry system by 5:00 PM MT on July 16, 2025. If you're using the Extension Office transport service for your project exhibits, you'll need to drop off your items at the Extension Office by Friday, August 1, 2025.
When it comes to exhibits, they must be properly packaged to protect them during transportation and clearly labeled with your name, county, grade, and number of parts (if more than one). For specific packaging and labeling instructions or pick-up times, contact your local Extension Office or consult the official State Fair premium book.
The exhibits can be dropped off at the State Fair on Saturday, August 16, 2025, between 7:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. After the fair, they must be picked up on September 4. However, the exact pick-up time is not specified, so exhibitors should check the fair's official communications for retrieval details to avoid losing their projects.
Please note that no further details about the submission process, judging criteria, or special rules for State Fair exhibits are provided in this article. For more information, we recommend contacting your local Extension Office or checking the official State Fair premium book.
The exact date of the State Fair ending is not specified in the text, but it will take place after August 11 and before September 4. The pick-up location for State Fair exhibits is not specified in the text either.
In summary, to participate in the State Fair, submit your entries by July 16, 2025, through FairEntry, and drop them off at the Extension Office by August 1, 2025, if using their transport service. Exhibits can be dropped off on August 16, 2025, and must be picked up on or after September 4. Make sure to label your exhibits correctly and consult the official sources for more detailed instructions.
