Important Information for families who wish to participate in the Washington County Fair in 2026

Start attending your 4-H meetings NOW!! Here's a breakdown of what those Junior Livestock Division rules look like for the Washington County Fair:


6. Any youth that is interested in showing in the Washington County Fair must be in the third (3rd-12th) grade, minimum age 8 and maximum age 18 in accordance with 4-H Rules. All third graders wanting to show in the Washington County Fair will need to note that some projects will need to be purchased while in the second (2nd) grade. Upon the purchase and start of the project, these members are required to attend the mandatory weigh-in/tag-in programs and educational programs relating to their projects.


7. 4 – H and FFA members must have joined a Washington County 4-H Club or FFA Chapter by the ownership deadline of their Fair project and must attend 50 % (which is 5 meetings) of their 4 - H Club or FFA Chapter meetings. Exhibitors must show their project under a 4-H Club or FFA Chapter that they are a member in good standing of at the time of the fair. (NOTE – Any Exhibitor that joins FFA at the beginning of a high school year must show under 4-H and must have attended at least 50% of their 4-H Club meetings unless they were an active Junior FFA member.)


Please see the list of clubs below and make sure to attend your meetings!


Remember ANY club meeting is subject to location, date, & time changes! If you are planning to attend a club meeting, please contact the manager(s) to confirm details!
