There are no entry fees to enter items in the Agriculture Department. All products exhibited must be grown or prepared during the current year. All products must have been grown in Fayette County. Commercial sizes that would bring the highest market price, or sizes that are more desirable for home consumption, will be the basis upon which all products will be judged. Entries will be accepted and checked-in at the Creative Arts Building located on the Fayette County Fair Grounds on Wednesday, Aug. 31 from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. All entries will be on display during the entire fair. Entries will be released from 10 a.m. to noon Monday, Sept. 5.
