FairEntry
The late deadline for Fair entries is June 16 - 22 with a $25.00 fee per 4-H Exhibitor. Families can go to http://arapahoecounty.fairentry.com/ to enter. Families will need to click on the green button that says "Sign in with 4HOnline" and enter the same login info they use to log in to their 4HOnline account. Make sure to complete all entries for all exhibitors before hitting the submit button at the end of the process. It is each family's responsibility to check and make sure their entries have been received. You can check by emailing Jean at jwalton@arapahoegov.com.
Save the Date for 4-H Camping at the Fair!
Campers will select their own site on the interactive registration map. Campsite reservations are limited to (2) spaces per applicant. Campsites are available starting Saturday, July 23, 2022, until Sunday, July 31, 2022. Campsites are $30 and will be available on a first come, first serve basis, so be sure to act fast! There are 62 spots available. Once they all sell out, no exceptions or changes will be made. We have included the maximum number of spots available, and we do not have space to add additional spots.
NEW FOR 2022: Please note that camping registration will include a verification process to ensure that only 4-H families are reserving camping spaces. When you register for camping, please have your FairEntry invoice number ready to go. You can find your invoice number on the confirmation email from FairEntry. You can also email Jean Walton to receive your invoice number. Please have your invoice number ready to go when you reserve your camping spots to avoid delays.
Due to the new verification process, after you reserve your camping spot, staff will cross-check the FairEntry invoices to the camping reservations. You will receive a confirmation of your camping reservation from us before July 1st . If your information is not approved, you will receive a refund.
There will be access to a shower trailer and portable toilets onsite as well as a dumpster for your trash. We are excited to host you and look forward to getting back to good ol’ fashioned fun! For questions on your FairEntry invoice number, please email Jean Walton at jwalton@arapahoegov.com. For more questions on registering a camping spot please contact Lexy Kingsbaker at lkingsbaker@arapahoegov.com.

Market Goat Addendum to Fairbook |
DIVISION – MARKET GOATS
Project Exhibit Rules:
- Market goats must be castrated and healed as much as possible prior to the spring goat weigh-in. Bucks are not allowed.
- Animals must weigh a minimum of 50 pounds and a maximum or 120 pounds for market classes and sale. May be any breed and either sex born on or after January 1, 2022.
- Feeder classes will be established for goats that do not make weight or are over the maximum weight.
- Animals below minimum weight or above maximum weight are not eligible for sale.
- Market goats will be weighed immediately following beef on Tuesday, July 26. See pages 57 for specific weigh-in rules and sale rules.
- Market goats must be disbudded or blunt tipped (not less than the diameter of a dime at the end). Tipping of horns is not allowed on the Fairgrounds.
- Market goats must still have their milk teeth intact at the time of show. No exceptions.
- Market goats must be slick shorn, with no indication of blocking, to 3/8 inch or less above the knees and hock joints to include the head but excluding the tail switch PRIOR to being weighed-in at county fair.
- Animals are judged on individual merit. The judge reserves the right to not award a blue ribbon if there is only one entry. Champion or Reserve Champion may or may not be awarded at the discretion of the judge.
- Market goats will show by weight classes not breed. The superintendent will make the classes as even as possible according to weight distribution. An exhibitor having more than one market goat with uniform weights may end up with two or more animals in the same class.
- If an exhibitor in a market class ends up with two animals in the same class, they can elect to move one animal up to the next heavier weight class but not down to the lighter class.
