The winning display will be announced on Saturday night just before the main event begins. Plus, in a random drawing, one lucky voter will receive a $25 gift card!
Catalog Revisions
We are constantly looking to improve our exhibitors’ experience and participation by listening to your suggestions. The committee also likes to keep up with current trends and interests in our community. Also, some classes were combined, and some classes have been eliminated. There are updates to the entry requirements. Therefore, it is IMPORTANT to read through the entire catalog.
The links on this page provide information on how to register your entry, view a comprehensive catalog of items you can submit, review rules and guidelines regarding those entries, and note what ribbons and premiums you may receive.
We are excited to showcase the BEST our neighbors can create! Please email Blue.Ribbon@LoudounCountyFair.com if you need any information or have further questions.
