Fair Entries
Help sheets and videos can be found at warren.osu.edu under FairEntry. Be sure to follow along with these when completing entries.
Helpful Tips
- Entries should be made for every time you plan to enter the show ring/exhibit your project. For example: You have two hogs that are county born. You will register each hog for the market class and the county born class. If you choose to participate in showmanship you will register for showmanship once per species not per animal.
- Enter ALL family members entries prior to submitting. If you submit one members entries at a time, you will have to wait for entry approval prior to entering the second members entries
- County born animals need to register for the species class and the county born class for each animal
- Swine must submit the ractopamine affidavit to their entry. The template can be downloaded from the entry platform and will be uploaded back to each project entry in order to submit. TIPS: Leave PQA ID blank if you don't have one, when it says "person submitting producer affidavit" you will put the breeder name there.
- You have to attach an animal to all animal entries. Some of these might already appear from 4-H Online or you might have to create your animal
- DO NOT WAIT TILL THE DAY OF THE DEADLINE TO COMPLETE THESE! This is a new system and you may have questions while completing entries so start these today!

Mask Guidelines
Face masks are not required to be worn inside or outside at 4-H camp (day or overnight) for ALL employees AND clientele.
Face masks are not required to be worn inside or outside at any OSU Extension (including 4-H non-camp) programs and activities for ALL employees AND clientele.
Face masks are strongly recommended for those who are not yet fully vaccinated.
All other health and safety guidance is still in effect, such as physical distancing and sanitizing.
Local guidance (i.e., local health department, local landlord or building requirements, etc.) prevails, if there are more stringent requirements.
Individuals and/or family members may not attend if they or anyone living their household is experiencing any of the following symptoms: fever, cough, shortness of breath, loss of sense of taste or smell, or as been directly exposed (confirmed or suspected) to COVID-19 if they are not fully vaccinated.
COVID-19 vaccinations are our best current protection against infection and a fatal outcome. Fully vaccinated individuals are not required to wear a face mask, however we strongly recommend eligible, but unvaccinated, individuals to continue to properly wear a face mask when social distancing cannot be maintained.
These guidelines may be modified at any time if conditions change, and/or if the guidance is not followed, and/or if a local health department issues more stringent requirements.

Mid Valley Riders News Article
Mid Valley Riders give many thanks to member Cooper and his BSA Troop 838 for sponsoring the Open Horse Show last Saturday, May 15 at the Warren County Fairgrounds.
There was a great turn out and Troop 838 treated everyone with many delicious grilled burgers and hot dogs along with drinks and snacks. The show was a lot of fun and it was a good chance for riders to have a turn in the show arena. Thank you Troop 838.
