Kansas State Fair Grand Drive Entries Due
Entries for the Kansas State Fair Grand Drive (4‐H/FFA youth livestock show) are currently open and will be due July 15. A complete nomination does not constitute entry; it only makes animals eligible. So, if even if a family state nominated market animals or commercial breeding females earlier this summer, there is still another step left to be able to show! All exhibitors and animals must be entered directly through the state fair entry link for the Grand Drive using ShoWorks. Only online entries will be accepted.
Families who state-nominated livestock will use the exhibitor name and password created for each child during nominations to log in and submit their entries. Exhibitors will select their Tag ID/Validation Number from a drop-down list of nominated animals in those divisions. Registered breeding females are entered by the exhibitor off of their papers. Show entry is also when exhibitors will enter showmanship, if they are interested in that class. Youth who are only showing registered breeding females will submit their YQCA verification at the time of entry.
Late entries will be accepted until July 25, with a late fee. No entries will be accepted after July 25.
All families should read the rules prior to show entry.
