All exhibits which don’t move on their own (for example, Food & Nutrition; Photography; and Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) are called static exhibits. Many 4‑H & FFA youth choose to showcase their finished static exhibit project(s) at the Lancaster County Super Fair at the Sandhills Global Event Center, 84th & Havelock in the Ag Society Hall.
See the Lancaster County Super Fair 4‑H & FFA Fair Book at https://lancaster.unl.edu/4h/fair/fair-book/4h-static/ for available classes (entry opportunities), descriptions and rules.
During the Super Fair, 4‑H and Open Class static exhibits will be on display and open to the public Thursday, July 30–Sunday, Aug. 2, 10 a.m.–9 p.m. — except Sunday closes at 8 p.m.
All Super Fair 4‑H & FFA static exhibits are not preregistered, but MUST be physically checked in and picked up. 4‑H static exhibitors have the opportunity to talk to a judge about their static exhibit during Interview Judging (see separate e-news announcement).

STATIC EXHIBIT RELEASE/PICK UP
All 4‑H & FFA static exhibits will be released on Monday, Aug. 3, 7–11 a.m. in the Ag Society Hall. All static exhibits MUST be picked up during release time. Premium payouts for static exhibits will be paid in cash on Monday, Aug. 3, 7–11 a.m. in the Ag Society Hall.
Please pick up premium payouts BEFORE picking up static exhibits. Staff at the payout table will provide a list of each 4‑H member’s static exhibits, which will help families collect all of their projects without leaving any behind.
Please pick up project(s) at each of the area(s) you have exhibits.
STATIC EXHIBIT AG SOCIETY HALL PARKING
4‑H and Open Class static exhibitor parking is allowed on static exhibit check‑in/out and interview judging days only in Lot K at the Gate 1 entrance off 84th Street. For those that need to get closer to the doors of the Ag Society Hall, there is temporary 20 minute active unloading/loading by the west doors of the Ag Society Hall. After you have loaded or unloaded, please immediately move your vehicle back to Lot K while you finish your activities, so others can get close to the building as needed.
4‑H exhibitors:
• During check‑in/out — please use the north sets of doors on the west side indicated on the map.
• During interview judging — please walk around the newly constructed main office to the north main entry.
From July 31–Aug. 3, static exhibitors may park in public parking by entering Gate 1 or Gate 3. Gate 4 is for 4‑H & FFA exhibitors and their immediate families. The closest parking to Ag Society Hall is east of the EquineMarket Pavilion in Lot C, and walking through the FR8Star Pavilion.
Accommodation requests for registration or attendance may be directed to Karen Wobig at least two weeks prior to the program at lancaster@unl.edu or 402‑441‑7180. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet access needs.
