Contest and exhibit entry information


Fair exhibit

The San Diego County Fair is over for 2009. We had tons of fun, and we hope you did, too! We have left the information about the 2009 Fair on the Web site so that you'll have an idea of what it's all about. Much of this information will disappear at the end of 2009 when we will have the re-designed Web site featuring the 2010 Fair theme. Please check back in February or March, when we will post the entry information for the 2010 San Diego County Fair.


2009 Exhibits and Contests Results

Results are posted on individual department pages for most departments. We do not post the results for livestock, small animals and one-day contest classes; please contact the Entry Office if you need more information on those.

Entry information, One-Day Contests

The Fair has many one-day contests, many with no advance registration or entry fee. Please click on "One Day Contests" in the navigation on the left side of this page for more information.
