The El Dorado County Fair’s exhibit application process is going digital. Exhibitors of livestock and still exhibits may download entry packets from the fair’s website.

The fair has traditionally published a printed booklet, containing general information and entry rules and applications. This year, while limited printed forms and information will be available at the office in Placerville, the fair has otherwise discontinued the printed booklet in an effort to be environmentally green and save costs.

Fair CEO Jody Gray says the online entry guide is organized similar to its hard copy predecessor. Gray notes that residents who do not have access to a personal computer, may access the fair’s online entry guide via public computers available at local libraries and the fair office.

Livestock entry forms are due on or before May 7. Most other entry forms, including adult poultry, are due on or before May 13. There are a few exceptions such as floriculture and the special contests, see the entry form for deadlines on these.

The 2011 El Dorado County Fair, themed “Rockin’ & Wranglin’”, will take place June 16 to 19 in Placerville.
