Fair Entries 2026

Here is where you will find the details on how to enter your project, art, 4-H animals, etc. in the Fair.

4-H Fair Entries

All Morris County residents in grades K-13 are invited to participate and enter their art, craft or science project, knitting, photos, plants, models, sewing, food, and more in the 4-H Fair. Some things are open to active 4-H members from that club or project area and other divisions are open to all, or even adults associated with Morris County 4-H (alumni, leaders/volunteers, parents) - see the Open Division section especially.

Participants in Kindergarten to 3rd grade (called "Cloverbuds" in 4-H) receive rainbow ribbons for participation. Older age groups are: 4-8 grade, 9-13 grade, and adults; their entries get judged against a standard and also receive ribbons (Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair / Participation) as well as rosettes for Best-in-Show and Honorable Mention.

All will be on display at the Fair from July 24-26 (some will be highlighted on the website). Animal shows and Quiz Bowls will be held at the Fair; check the schedule for details.

Take a look at the 2026 Fair Entry Book for all entry information and details.

Some forms can also be filled out at the Fair, such as for the Pet Show, Dress-a-Pet/Cage, Talent Show, and Quiz Bowls.
