Thomas County Fair: July 29th - August 3rd, 2024

2024 Fair Theme: Fiesta at the Fair

The Thomas County Fair is held at the end of July or first of August. The guidelines and rules are listed in the county Fair book. All members must be re-enrolled in 4-H (on 4-H Online) by December 1st, 2023 and can add or drop projects until May 1st. Livestock must be identified by earlier dates (weighed-in). Check with the Extension Office for the actual identification (weigh-in) date for each species.

We put together a fair packet of information for the 4-H families. In this packet you will find a fair book, entry cards, 4-Hers exhibitor numbers and everything else you will need to know to exhibit at the fair. Fair packets can be picked up at the Extension Office. When you receive your fair packet, you should take the time to sit down and read every section that pertains to your exhibits in the fair book, and to read the information concerning the entry of exhibits. Pre-entries are required on the following exhibits, market steer, breeding heifers, breeding hog, market hog, market lamb, breeding ewe, bucket calf, yearling bucket calf, market goats, dairy goats, horse, poultry, rabbits, cats, hand pets, dogs, showmanship for all species, demonstrations and illustrated talks, clothing construction, buymanship, fashion revue, foods, home environment, welding, woodworking, and visual arts.
