Fair Entry Forms & Judging

Click here for all Entry Forms in the Ulster County Fair Book

Which one do I use?

Static Exhibits: (any exhibit that is not a living animal) Use the form titled “4-H Entry Form.” Bring your static exhibits to the Fair Grounds on Monday, August 1, starting at 2:30 pm. No static exhibits will be accepted after 7:00 pm that day. You will need to complete an Exhibitor Entry Tag for each exhibit.

Animal Exhibits: (for all animals except horses) Use the form titled “4-H Animal Entry Form.” The 4-H Office needs as much information as possible to plan for cages/pens, judges and to make sure all health and certification requirements have been met (Refer to General Rules #8, and Rules and Regulations of the Dept. of Agriculture & Markets).

Horse Exhibits: (for all horse entries) Use the form titled “4-H Horse Entry Form”. Attach copies of the Rabies and EIA certificates with this form if we don’t already have them.

All 4-H Exhibitors: Fill out each entry form thoroughly - especially your parent/guardian signature. The regular Entry Form and the Animal Entry Forms require a leader’s signature as well. Remember there is room for more entries on the back. Enter all possible entries. You can always cross off an entry at the Fair, but you cannot actually exhibit anything that has not been entered on this Entry Form!

Static Exhibit Judging: Be There!

When you enter a static exhibit in the Fair, remember that you are expected to be there when your exhibits are judged. Why, you might ask? Well, you will learn from the judge! The judge will make suggestions to make your project better. You can ask the judge questions and you will come away wiser for your experience. Plan on spending the afternoon or evening at the fair grounds seeing your work judged.  If you have a conflict with other 4-H events, try to find some time to see your static judges anyway—it’ll be worth the effort!
