Tangipahoa Parish Fair
All 4-H club members may enter handicraft articles, baked goods and preserves in the 4-H division of the Fair. To enter see your 4-H leader for entry materials. You may also enter art work, rabbits, poultry and plants in the fair (you need to register them at the front office). All entries must be made, tagged and entered by 5 p.m. sharp on Tuesday, September 30, 2008 and picked up on Sunday, October 5, 2008 from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. This is your first big chance to get points, but please only bring your quality items to be judged. Extremely important, please put your Exhibitor Number, Name and your School Initials (should be in the left hand corner of the entry tag). To enter see your 4-H leader for entry tags and instructions.
CHANGES IN FAIR ENTRIES
The 4-H Advisory members & Tangi Parish Fair Board members have decided to limit the number of items to be entered into all divisions of the fair. This year we will be limiting the items to 20 or less in the 4-H division.
Also, until more arrangements have been made THERE WILL NOT BE ANY CLOVER BUD ENTRIES in the fair. ONLY AGES 9 – 18.
