The gate on Washington Street will be closed and members will be asked to enter at the gate on Balyeat Avenue or Fox Road (Gates 1 and 4). Members must register at the Junior Fair Building upon arrival the day of the event. Further instructions will be provided at this time. Test-out it will be offered starting at 5:30 p.m. in the Junior Fair Building.

This is the final chance for exhibitors to receive certification through the Van Wert County Extension Office for 2011.
