Exhibiting talent at the Larimer County Fair is as American as apple pie. We’re talking apple pies, salsa, paintings, knitted hats and other handmade items.

Adults or youth who pre-enter garden produce, flowers, needlework, metal or wood work, beadwork or other crafts, photography, art work, wine, honey, or baked or preserved foods can exhibit at no cost. See the list of open class items and rules at www.larimer.org/ext. Pre-entry deadline is July 15. Entries can be made online. After July 15, there is a late charge of $5 per department.

Larimer County Fair and PRCA Rodeo official dates are Aug. 2-6. Items need to be taken to the fairgrounds earlier that week for judging. Check the schedule and instructions for entering Open Class Exhibits at the website. For additional information contact CSU Larimer County Extension Office at 970-498-6000.
