The Jefferson County Fair welcomes community members to exhibit their animal and static projects. Youth aged 8-19 who are part of an organized group such as 4-H, FFA, Scouting America Troops, church groups, afterschool programs, school clubs, or other organizations with adult leadership and an educational program are eligible to show in the Junior Department. The educational program should be appropriate to that organization, and feature education that aligns with at least one of the Jefferson County Fair Departments. Leaders of all youth organizations must complete the Youth Organization Application form annually and submit it to the Fair by March 1st of the current Fair year to allow their members to exhibit.
