Open Class Departments
All community members are welcome and invited to enter items in the open class department.
How to Enter in the open class departments:
*Open class departments are open to anyone (all ages)!
You have two options to register in Open Class: Pre-Registration and Day of Entry Registration.
Open Class exhibits are accepted Monday, 8/4 from 5-7 PM & Tuesday 8/5 from 9 AM - 1 PM.
Horticulture & Floriculture exhibits are accepted from 9 am - 8 pm.
PRE-REGISTRATION:
Pre-registration is encouraged in open class departments - Home Economics, Fine Art, Photography, Horticulture and Floriculture, but not required. Registration is done online at www.yvfair-rodeo.org. After you have pre-registered, you can still add or delete items when you arrive at the fair on entry day.
When you arrive with your exhibits on your department’s entry day, go directly to the Open Class Jones Building and your entry tags will be waiting for you.
Check the individual department sections for the date and times of entry for your particular category.
DAY OF ENTRY REGISTRATION:
Check the individual department sections for the date and times of entry for your particular category.
Be sure to check with each individual department for dates and rules pertaining specifically to that area of entry.
Come to the Open Class Jones building on the day of entry and you will find entry information and receive your exhibitor tags (there is no entry fee). You will be given specific instructions then.
All exhibits must remain at the fairgrounds until Sunday morning. Pick up time is 8 am-10 am, and your entry stub will be required for pick up. If not picked up on Sunday, item(s) will be forfeited.
