Hundreds of Exhibitors from all over the state and all ages enter items in the Open Class Exhibits every year. Printed copies are available at most banks throughout Dodge County, the Fair Office, Beaver Dam and Juneau Piggly Wiggly, and Beaver Dam Food Pride. The online version is a good reference for quick look-up or for printing extra entry sheets.

What are the age requirements for exhibitors in the Open Beef Classes?
There is no an age or residence limitation to be an open class exhibitor. Regardless of age, they must purchase an exhibitor ticket for $24.00 to enter the grounds. Be sure to read the exhibitor entry book, only registered breeding animals are able to be exhibited, no steers. There is also a stall fee, all of which in listed in the book, along with age of animals. Printed books can be picked up most all Dodge County Banks, Rechek’s Food Pride and Piggly Wiggly in Beaver Dam.
Is there an online entry for open class arts and crafts stuff?
Sorry, we do not offer online entries for open class arts and crafts exhibitors. Every year we make steps to catch up and add more online functionality so hopefully sometime in the future you will be able to. For now, you can print out the entry pages from the online book pages above, send in with payment and self addressed stamped envelope. Thank you.
Wondering if you will be having a poultry show for Junior and/or Open Class at this years fair?
Poultry shows will continue in the Junior Division but we’re sorry to say that we do not offer an Open Class Category. We’re always looking for volunteers which helps to grow the categories and help organize the many parts of the Fair. Thank you for asking.
