Kansas State Fair Grand Drive Entries Due
Entries for the Kansas State Fair Grand Drive (4‐H/FFA youth livestock show for beef cattle, swine, sheep, and meat goats) are due July 17. A complete nomination does not constitute entry; it only makes animals eligible. All exhibitors and animals must be entered directly through the state fair using the ShoWorks entry link posted on their website. Only online entries will be accepted. Families who state nominated livestock will use the exhibitor name and password created for each child during the nomination process to login and submit entries. Families must use their nomination account to be able to enter their nominated animals in the market division or commercial breeding division.
Youth must submit official entries and have a receipt showing their show entry fees have been paid to participate. Those who nominate but do not enter the Grand Drive will not be allowed to participate. Show entry is also when youth will enter showmanship for each specie in which they would like to exhibit.
Youth who only plan to show registered breeding females will submit their YQCA number during the entry process.

Late entries will be accepted until July 25, with a late fee. No entries will be accepted after July 25. For those who still have an incomplete nomination on file, entry approval is pending until nomination corrections are received.

Continuing this year, county agents and ag teachers will approve the entries for exhibitors from their county/school online by logging into their club account. Entries may be approved at any time until the system closes on July 17.
