The Routt County Fair Home Arts would like to encourage 4-Hers to enter Exhibit Day projects (that aren't going to the State Fair Competition) into the additional competition of the Home Arts Show in the Exhibit Hall at Fair. If a project does not fit in a regular class, then simply enter the project under the "4-H Projects" department and the ladies at the Exhibit Hall will split the boards and have them judged appropriately. Vet Science is a great example of this. The display boards do not fit into any of the Home Arts Classes, therefore, they should be entered in the appropriate age group under the "4-H Projects" Department. Entries open online August 1st!

• 4-H members/families who have not exhibited at Fair in the Exhibit Hall in the last 3 years, need to create a NEW account on the ROUTT COUNTY FAIR OPEN SHOWS entry site. Instructions on registration can be found in the Fair Book (page 107-110).
