Fair is ending and it’s time to pick up your projects, as well as your premiums! Be sure to come to the McKee 4-H Building (5280 Arena Circle, Loveland, Colorado 80538) on Wednesday, August 7 between 7:00–10:00 a.m. to pick up your projects and record books, and collect your premiums.
If your project is qualified for state fair (dark purple Champion placing), you will get your project from the Exhibit Hall and then take it to the Fort Collins Room to check it in to be transported to the Colorado State Fair. Cakes and foods projects as well as any project that needs to be packaged for transport will need to be checked in to go on Monday, August 12 between 8:00–10:00 a.m. (Detailed instructions are included on the purple sheet in your record book if you received Champion.)
Important reminder! Premiums MUST be picked up by 12:00 noon on Friday, August 9 or they will be forfeited.
Fair Entry for the Larimer County Fair is open! The deadline to enter is Monday, July 8 at 11:59 p.m.
The link is larimercountyfair.fairentry.com. Log in using the 4HOnline account for your family.
The payment portal link for members who are showing livestock, dog, horse, poultry, or rabbits is found by clicking here.
The premium books for the 2024 Larimer County Fair are posted. These documents outline all of the divisions and classes available for each project, including what is required for submission and the class numbers to enter in the fair. Be sure to watch for Junior (8–10), Intermediate (11–13), and Senior (14–18) age divisions.
All members will see a screen with questions about livestock projects. Livestock members are required to complete this page, but all others can skip past it.
Those with Livestock should be sure to include your premise ID.
Scheduling a slot for interview judging is done within Fair Entry. After entering each of your projects, choose to Edit each project and find an appropriate time slot with a judge for the proper project and unit. We encourage members to participate in interview judging—it’s a great learning experience! However, members are not required to schedule an interview to enter their projects in the fair.
Tip: Take note of the times for each of your member’s interviews!
Be sure to include all members and all projects before you submit! Once submitted, edits must be made manually with The Ranch’s fair office.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask via email at info@hch4h.org or via phone or text at 970-672-7368.
