Please remember the opportunity to order these discounted tickets is for static exhibitors and their families only. The misuse of this resource may eliminate this opportunity in the future, so please do not to share this link. Note – Ordered tickets are tracked and matched to 4-H participation. There is a limit of 10 tickets per exhibitor. Discount tickets will not be available through the county offices.
Note – All livestock exhibitors and in-person event exhibitors (contests, fashion show, presentations) will still be able to order discounted tickets when they enter in ShoWorks for State Fair. This process has not changed for those exhibitors coming to the fair. All Beef, Swine, Sheep, Goat, Rabbit and Poultry 4-H/FFA exhibitors will receive a free 11-day wristband at no cost. Exhibitors will not have to select a wristband as it will automatically be provided with the livestock, rabbit, and/or poultry entry. 4-H Dog Exhibitors will receive a free daily gate pass. All purchase items will be in the exhibitor packet when the exhibitor checks in at the Livestock Check-In Trailer.
