Exhibitor handbooks are now available for the 2023 Berrien County Youth Fair. Books and entry forms can be picked up at the fair office in Berrien Springs, all Berrien County public libraries, the Berrien County 4H office, and at several businesses. The fair says the handbooks can also be viewed online. The books contain information on how to exhibit, exhibitor rules, registration deadlines, and a complete listing of all classes available. To show off an animal at the fair, an exhibitor must be five to 20 years of age as of January 1st of this year. The registration deadlines begin on June 1, first with large animals, and continue from there. Each exhibitor will receive an exhibitor season pass for free admission to the fair for the entire week, and each exhibit will be judged and given an A, B, or C award. Depending on how an animal ranks, the exhibitor will receive a ribbon. The fair office is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. A special drop box is just outside the office doors and contains a supply of books and entry forms.
