Not Seeing Your Name on the Schedule?: If you don't see your exhibitor's name on the schedules posted, please email me at gaerke.13@osu.edu so I can identify why they are not on the schedule and figure out which time group to assign them to. If you did not do a Fair Entry via shelbycounty.fairentry.com to indicate your intent to participate in pre-fair judging by June 1st, you have not been assigned a timeslot.
Scratches: We hate to see you go! But, if you do decide it is necessary to scratch a project, please submit all scratches by the second Friday in July so that we can make necessary changes to the judging schedules well in advance. Scratch form due by July 14th.
