The 4-H Fair and Frying Pan Farm Show Catalog contains the rules and regulations for the fair events. The 4-H Fair does allow non-4-Hers to enter stationary exhibits (non-animal) in the fair for ribbons. However, no premiums are distributed for non-4-Hers. There are many departments in which you can enter in the 4-H Fair. They include: foods & nutrition, family & consumer sciences, art, crafts, woodworking, science & technology, vegetables, scrapbooks, sewing, & others! There is also a 4-H Fair program which is distributed to every visitor at the front gate.
