Indiana State Fair information can be found here. State Fair entries open on May 16, but it may be a few days before you can enter as the county and state 4-H offices verify eligibility. If you plan to enter the State Fair be sure to mark the proper box when enrolling your animals in 4-H Online. Checking this box does NOT register you for the State Fair. The Purdue Extension- Tipton County office does not have any access to, nor can they assist you with, your Indiana State Fair entries. Please call the State Fair Entry Department for assistance.
