The deadline for large animals to be exhibited at the 2024 Berrien County Youth Fair is this Saturday, June 1. Animals needing to be registered by June 1 include Dairy, Sheep, Goats, Swine, Llamas/Alpacas, Equine and Beef breeding. Registration is open to any Berrien County resident ages 5 to 20 years of age. Exhibitor age is as of January 1, 2024.
Online registration is available for ALL departments, except Equine! Equine must complete an equine entry form and return it to the BCYF office by June 1. Online registration is now open. 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. Families can register under one e-mail and password.
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.
Entry forms may be brought to the Fair office between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. through Friday prior to June 1, or postmarked on or before June 1. The Fair Office will be open special hours from 9 a.m. – Noon on Saturday, June 1, or registration forms can be placed in the drop box outside the Fair Office after office hours until midnight on June 1.
Animal identification rules from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) apply.
Other registration deadlines include: July 1 for small animals (rabbits, poultry, cats, dogs, pocket pets) and August 1 for still exhibits (crafts, home economics, flowers, horticulture, variety classes). No late registrations will be accepted.
