Thanks so much! Anji
Youth Vendors in 4-H Building:
Because of a generous donation from Hansen Crafts (link) we will have a number of youth vendor spaces available. If you have a 4-H’er who would be interested in selling their wares and experience entrepreneurship during Fair have them contact fair.manager@jeffcofairgrounds.org to get signed up. These spaces will be available first come first served.

Most Departments require a blue ribbon to qualify for State Fair. If you are interested and have questions reach out to your County Coordinator the week after Fair. Our county gets limited allocations but your coordinator can advocate for you! State Fair runs for the whole month of September – depending on what you will be participating in determines what day you will be exhibiting. The schedule is on the website. We get a number tickets that I will share with participants.
