4-H & FFA animal exhibitors ages 10–18 are eligible to participate at the Nebraska State Fair regardless of county fair placing. Again this year, 4-H/FFA youth and their families will be responsible for making their own livestock, companion animal and dog entries online for the Nebraska State Fair. 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.
Instructions and link to register are at http://www.statefair.org/fair/competitions/4HFFAOnlineEntries.asp. For more information, contact Cole Meador at 402-441-7180. This only applies to livestock — static entries will still be taken care of by Extension staff.
