The Dodge County Fair’s Open Class Exhibits are a popular event for people of all ages and skill levels across the state. Every year, hundreds of participants enter their creations in various categories. To get involved, you can pick up a printed copy of the exhibitor handbook at most banks in Dodge County, the Fair Office, or specific grocery stores in Beaver Dam and Juneau. An online version is also available for easy access and printing additional entry forms. If you have any questions about the Open Class Exhibits or the entry process, feel free to leave a comment or contact the designated superintendent for your area.
All exhibitors and anyone interested should join the Open Class Exhibitors Facebook Group

Where can I get a hard copy of the open class book?
Good question Shannon – Get a Fair Premium Book at one of many locations throughout the county starting the second week of July; most Dodge County Banks, Beaver Dam and Juneau Piggly Wiggly, Beaver Dam Food Pride, Leroy Meats of Horicon and Fox Lake, and the Fair Office at the Fairgrounds from 9 AM to 4 PM.

When and where can I obtain and apply to enter and exhibit in the open class category?
Thanks for asking Thomas – The 2024 Open Class Exhibitor Book has not been released yet, although you can use last year’s information as a guide, there are very few changes each year. For now, gain an understanding of the categories and guidelines to enter items in the judging competition. Forms available in July for the August event.
Is it too late to enter items in the open class exhibitors?
Thanks for asking Deb – Sorry, entries closed last week Friday. Thank you for your interest.
