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

I already have a season pass purchased through my kids 4H group. Do I need to buy another one to enter open class?
You will not need to purchase another pass, simply place a note in your entry envelope stating the situation. Sharon will verify with the UW Extension Office and you will use the 4H pass to enter the grounds all five days of the Fair. Thank you for being involved and participating in the Dodge County Fair!

Can anyone show cats in the Open Class Exhibits or is it just for the 4H kids?
Sorry, cats can only be shown and exhibited in the Junior Fair (for 4H and FFA members). Thank you for asking.
Do you need to include a stamped envelope with your entry form to get the tags back?
Also, do you need to fill in the entry no. blank? If so, what number do you use?
You only need a self addressed stamped envelope if you want your tags and exhibitor tickets sent by mail. Most exhibitors pickup their tags and tickets at the Fair Office on Tuesday when they bring their entries for display. Depending on the number of entries you may need two or more stamps. Yes, please complete the division, class and premium number on the entry blanks. Example Flowers; G-19, 37, 3 would be for Snapdragons.
