NEW: We are excited to be using the same online system (Fair Entry) that our Extension Office and other local fairs use for registering livestock projects. Registration opened on May 1st. If you haven't yet registered your project, you can visit washmofair.com and click the "Register Exhibits" button at the top left, or use the shortcuts at the bottom of this e-mail to complete your registration. Reminder: Livestock entries must be registered by July 1!
Fair Admission: Ticket purchases will not be made through the same system as the livestock registration. Visit e-tix to purchase season tickets. Our Queen Contestants will be providing promo codes in June for a discount on tickets, so if you don't already have yours, keep an eye out for that! Exhibitors will use the same style ticket as other fairgoers and are encouraged to get a daily re-entry wristband. Parking Passes/Needed Items: You will receive your packet when you bring your animal to the fairgrounds. Exhibitors bringing animals after the first day can pick up packets Tuesday evening, 6-10 p.m. After that, packets will be available at the South Traffic Gate during fair hours.

Congratulations to these local senior livestock exhibitors that were selected to receive 2022 Livestock Scholarships! These scholarships are funded 100% by the exhibitors themselves from a 1% deduction in all Blue Ribbon Auction checks. Applications for Livestock Scholarships are due March 31 each year.
Market Steers and Dairy Cows to be entered in the 2021 Washington Town & Country Fair will be tagged on Saturday, February 13, 2021, from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. A snow date of February 20, 2021 has been set if weather does not permit tagging to take place on February 13. If necessary, postponement due to weather will be announced on the Fair's website and Facebook page. Information will also be provided to KLPW and The Missourian. The tagging will be held at the Livestock Pavilion at the Washington City Park Fairgrounds. Exhibitors will be allowed to tag two market steers or dairy cows, but may only enter one. Market steer weight at fair time must be 1,000 to 1,450 lbs.
THE EXHIBITOR MUST BE PRESENT AT THE TAGGING. All exhibitors, regardless of age, MUST BE accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Relatives or friends will not be allowed to tag the animal for an exhibitor. All Junior Exhibitors must be a member in good standing of a 4-H Club or FFA Chapter, and they must be enrolled in the project they are exhibiting. Market class Junior Exhibitors must be from Franklin or an adjoining county. Complete rules for the Junior Livestock Exhibitors will be e-mailed to exhibitors and available at washmofair.com the week of Feb. 8. COVID-19 Procedures: Attendees must remain in their vehicle until otherwise directed by a Fair Representative. All Attendees will be required to wear masks. Our system is now prepared to accept online entries for livestock! Click the "Register Exhibits" button at the top left, or use the shortcuts at the bottom of this post. New Exhibitors: You will be asked to create an account to register. You will need a separate account for each exhibitor. Returning Exhibitors: You will need to select the "I have previously registered this year" option. If you remember your password, you will enter it. If not, click the button to have your password sent to you, or call the office to get your password. Please note - you need to register all of your items at once! If you sign in later to register more livestock or home ec entries, the system may overwrite your original entries! If you choose to add Home Ec entries later, please submit a paper form. Fair Admission: Ticket purchases will not be made through the same system as the livestock registration. Visit e-tix to purchase season tickets.
