4-H & FFA animal exhibitors ages 10–18 are eligible to participate at the Nebraska State Fair regardless of county fair placing.

New this year, 4-H/FFA youth and their families will be responsible for making their own livestock, rabbit, poultry, dog, cat and household pet entries online. This means Lancaster County Extension staff will not be collecting State Fair entries or entry fees during county fair. Entries will be due Aug. 10.

Use the following websites:
• Instructions are at http://statefair.org/fair/competitions/4HFFAOnlineEntries.asp
• To submit entries, go to http://nebr.fairmanager.com

This change only applies to livestock — static entries will still be taken care of by Extension staff. For more information, contact Cole Meador at 402-441-7180.
