2021 Arapahoe County Fair
Heads up 4-H Families! The time to enter your projects for the 2021 Fair is approaching. FairEntry will open for entries on 6/1/21.
Once you have submitted your entries, you must confirm that they were received with Jean. When the time comes, you can email her at jwalton@arapahoegov.com to confirm your entries. We don't want anyone to miss out because they thought they completed all the steps and didn't really get them all done.
Attention FCS and General 4-H Families!
Please know that we are planning for plan A where the FCS and General judging will take place in-person with safety protocols that follow Tri-County Health requirements. This is exciting news for us as we were unable to do in-person last year and had to turn to virtual. I know that the judges are looking forward to getting back to our county. Please make sure that you are working on your projects and not waiting until the last minute to complete before fair. You will need to make sure and get your entries submitted on Fair Entry beginning June 1!
