First-Time Exhibitor Resources
The Shippensburg Community Fair invites you to be a part of what makes the fair so important -- the exhibitors!  We offer thousands of different categories and classes you can enter, including classes in dairy cattle, livestock, home products, and horses.

The following is an overview of the exhibitor registration process...  Follow these steps to become an exhibitor at the Shippensburg Community Fair.

 

EXHIBITOR REGISTRATION PROCESS


1.  READ THE RULES

Be sure to thoroughly read all the general rules and special section, category, or class rules that apply to your exhibits.  These rules can be found in the Exhibitor's Premium Book.  Completing an entry form signifies your acceptance of all the rules for your department, class, and the fair in general.
 

2.  DETERMINE WHICH CLASSES TO ENTER

Determine which classes you would like to enter.  Take a look at our Exhibitor's Premium Book for a list of all available classes.  Make sure you read the list carefully and make sure you are entering the correct class.
 

3.  VERIFY YOUR ELIGIBILITY

Make sure you are eligible to enter the classes you have chosen.  Use this list as a guide:

  • All classes under Department 10 are limited to 4-H or FFA exhibitors only.

  • All classes under Department 11 are limited to youth under the age of 19.

  • You may only enter one exhibit per class in all Home Products categories.

  • Livestock exhibitors may receive a maximum of two premiums per class.

  • Be sure to read any premium book guidelines that accompany each class or section to make sure your exhibit(s) are eligible for show.
     

4.  COMPLETE ALL PRELIMINARY REQUIREMENTS

Some sections and categories, such as Livestock and Dairy Cattle, require that you complete preliminary forms such as the "Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship Form".  Each of these forms can be downloaded from our Entry Forms page.
 

5.  FILL OUT AN ENTRY FORM -- COMPLETELY AND CORRECTLY!

All entry forms can be downloaded from our Entry Forms page.  Be sure to complete the entry form as completely and correctly as possible.  If you have questions about your entry form, please contact your department chairperson, as listed in the Exhibitor's Premium Book.  If your entry form is not completed correctly, it may not be accepted.

When your entry form is completed, mail it to the appropriate department chairperson.  Mailing addresses can be found in the Exhibitor's Premium Book.  Online entry of exhibits is not currently available, but will be available beginning in 2009.  If your class requires an entry fee (Home Products classes may be entered for free), don't forget to enclose it with your entry form.  Please send checks or money orders to cover your entry fee -- cash will not be accepted.

Home Products exhibitors may choose to pre-enter their exhibits or enter them the first day of the fair.  We ask that all Home Products exhibitors pre-enter their exhibits if possible, as this greatly assists both the exhibitors and workers in the registration process.
