Experience Community – Enter In The Richland County Fair

Experience the true tradition of friends, family and community by entering in the open class division at the Richland County Fair and Rodeo. There really is something for everyone in your family to participate in from digital photography to flowers to grains to zucchini to cozy quilts to homemade beer and wine.

Pre-registration forms must be filled out and delivered to the fair office by 9 p.m. Sunday, July 31.

In most cases an individual can enter as a professional, novice or in the appropriate age group. Categories vary depending on the departments but it ensures that you are competing with others in your skill level or age bracket. The main thing is to read the entry instructions in the fair book. It does an excellent job explaining how you need to enter an item to be judged.

A few new things to take note of this year is the addition of digital scrapbooking on page 34, a revamped photography section on page 35 and additional entry hours of 5-8 p.m. Tuesday night for floriculture exhibits on page 16. Also, remember that all food preservation exhibits must consist of a two-jar exhibit and contain a label that is provided for you on page 46 of the fair book.

So, if you haven’t already, create a tradition with friends and family by entering in the Richland County Fair. It’s fun and makes the fair a much more personal experience.
