2020 Virtual Taylor County Fair

The Taylor County Fair was forced to cancel this year because of the pandemic, so there will be no carnival rides and funnel cake. But if you've raised a bumper crop of vegetables or created art you're particularly proud of, you will still get to show off your hard work. The Fair Board will be hosting a Virtual Exhibit Hall to showcase our citizens' efforts.

Due to the limitations of judging photos of entries, assessment of exhibits will be a bit different this year. All entries will be judged on an individual basis, not in comparison to each other. Ribbons will be assigned based on the judges' evaluation of each entry and no 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place will be awarded. 

Premium payments will only be available to exhibitors in Department H - FFA Member Exhibits and Department I - 4-H Club Work. There will there be no Premier Exhibitors or Best in Show ribbons.

Entries will be accepted in the following categories, with a limit of one entry per class.

Categories

The Virtual Exhibit Hall will be hosted through FairEntry. Get step-by-step instructions on how to register your entries. Registration will be open through Friday, August 14, 2020.
