It’s time to get ready for the 2026 Chippewa County Fair! You must complete the online registration process for all projects you will be bringing to the fair. FairEntry opens on Friday, May 22, 2026. FairEntry closes at 11:59 p.m. Friday, June 26th. Follow the FairEntry Quick Guide or the FairEntry family registration If you have any problems, please contact the U of M Extension office at 320.269.6521 or email Sheila at starks@umn.edu.

Be sure you have your LQA Training up to date if you plan to show at the Minnesota State Fair.

We encourage each 4-H member to have his/her projects conference judged. Conference judging gives the 4-H'er an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about his/her project and exhibit from the judge. If, for some reason, you cannot be present to have your project conference judged, you may still have your exhibit judged at the county fair.

Please read the 2026 Chippewa County 4-H Premium Book for rules, regulations, and guidelines for each project.

YOU MAY ENTER MORE THAN ONE ITEM PER CLASS, BUT RECORD EACH ITEM SEPARATELY.

General suggestions are given with each project area. You will sign up by grade completed, so if you just finished 8th grade, sign up for grades 6 - 8. To exhibit three needlework pieces (example: a cross stitch, an embroidery item, and a hardanger item) you would record Needle Arts three times on your fair registration form, with a brief description of each.
