The 2024 Berrien County Youth Fair exhibitor handbooks and entry forms may be picked up at the Fair Office in Berrien Springs, all Berrien County Public Libraries, the Berrien County 4-H office, and locally at the Watervliet Fruit Exchange. Equine forms will be available at the libraries and Fair office only.
Exhibitor handbooks can also be viewed online by specific department or the full book at www.bcyf.org. Exhibitor handbooks contain information on how to exhibit, exhibitor rules, registration deadlines and a complete listing of all classes available. Exhibitors must be five to twenty years of age to exhibit all animals, including livestock and still exhibits (crafts, home economics, horticulture, flowers). Age is determined as of January 1st of the current year.
Once registered, (each year you will create a user name and password – it can be the same as last year’s) exhibitors can return to the program and add more entries up until each entry deadline, with the exception of equine. The exhibitor’s printed email confirmation will serve as the traditional yellow copy of the entry form and is required on entry day, just as the yellow copy of the traditional entry form is. The link for online entries can be found at www.bcyf.org.
In most cases, school projects can be exhibited and the exhibitor will get paid for exhibiting! Each exhibitor will receive an exhibitor season pass for free admission to the fair for the entire week.
The Fair Office is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. A special drop box is located just outside the office doors and contains a supply of books and entry forms. Completed entry forms may be left in the slot of the drop box, mailed to the Fair Office, P.O. Box 7, Berrien Springs, MI 49103, or hand delivered during office hours. Registrations will be accepted from now to the appropriate deadline date. Early registration is encouraged so deadlines are not missed. Contact the Fair Office at 269-473-4251 by phone or at entry@bcyf.org by e-mail with questions.
This year’s BCYF theme is “Explore Planet Fair.” Fair dates are August 12-17, 2024.
