The Next Steps

You must look for the Department your item or items fit into.  The animal categories are pretty self-explanatory, others you may have to look a little bit through the premium list to figure it out.

Then you find the Class Letter and the lot number.

For Example: If you are an ADULT with hand knitted slippers you would like to enter in the Fair.  You would enter it in DEPARTMENT 27, CLASS A, LOT 1.   If you were a 4-H YOUTH, in Grade 6, you would enter  them in DEPARTMENT 127, CLASS A, LOT 2.

If you have Two items the same, you may ONLY enter ONE in each LOT number

Fill out the Bayfield County Fair Entry Form, with your personal information and your list of entries.

Enclose the appropriate dollar amount and mail or drop off the entry form at the Fair office-located in the Bayfiled County Courthouse in the UW-Extension Office on the 2nd Floor before July 25, 2008
