Kansas State Fair Grand Drive and KJLS Entry Information
Exhibitors must submit an official entry and pay the entry fees directly through each state show in which they would like to participate, including the Kansas State Fair Grand Drive and/or KJLS. This includes entries for state-nominated market animals and commercial breeding females, as well as registered
breeding females. Show entry is also a young person's opportunity to enter showmanship.
A complete nomination does NOT constitute a show entry. A nomination only makes animals eligible to subsequently enter either state show.
The Kansas State Fair Grand Drive entries will be available once nominations close. The entry link will be available on the Grand Drive and KJLS websites, as well as their social media platforms. Typically, Grand Drive entries open around July 1.
July 15 - Kansas State Fair Grand Drive Entry Deadline
August 15 - KJLS Entry Deadline
Animals that are nominated but do not follow the appropriate entry processes set forth by each show will not be permitted to exhibit. Each show manages their own rules and entries. All families should review the show rules prior to entry. Exhibitors will login and submit their show entries using the same exhibitor accounts they used for state nominations – including exhibitor name and password. Then, nominated animals will be selected from a drop-down menu, using their 4-H tag number. Registered breeding females will be entered off of their registration papers, which must be in the exhibitor's name by the deadlines listed in the show rules.
For nomination questions, please contact Lexie Hayes at adhayes@ksu.edu. Questions regarding show rules or entries should be directed to each specific show (KSF Grand Drive 620‐669‐3623 or KJLS 785-817-1350).
