FAIR ENTRY GUIDELINES:
NOTE: A number of changes have been made to the Fair Premium Books and the FairEntry process this year. Please carefully review all information you enter before you submit them. Here are a few guidelines to help you:
- All entries must include exhibitors full name, address, email, phone numbers, etc.
- For Junior entries, the club you are associated with must be selected for each entry. 4-H entries are automatically verified in the system. If you are a Junior Association or FFA member, you will need to upload your membership certificate or number. This requirement does not apply to OPEN CLASS.
- The Marquette County Code of Conduct has been incorporated into the FairEntry process for JUNIOR AND OPEN CLASS.
- Be sure you have your Premise ID before entering animals in the fair. It is one of the required fields. Entries will be rejected if the ID is invalid.
- Horse liability, information and vet certifications can now be completed and uploaded into the FairEntry process. This feature is new. If you have problems, please contact us.
- Please make sure you have added ALL your entries in full for ALL your exhibitors before you hit the SUBMITbutton. Review all entries for all exhibitors for accuracy. You can go in and out of the system to change and update your entries until you hit Submit. You can not modify entries once SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL unless the entry is rejected. Once approved you can add more entries but not modify existing.
- All required documentation and information must be uploaded and provided before entries will be approved. If entries are incomplete, they will be rejected and you will be able to correct the issue, then resubmit.
