Become an Exhibitor!The Bedford County Fair welcomes you to join in on what makes this annual event so special – the exhibitors! There are plenty of categories to enter, from livestock and home products to equines and more. The Premium Guide is perfect for those looking to get involved, offering details on how to showcase hobbies, goods, and livestock projects with the community. It walks you through registering your animals or entries in the right departments and classes, with each department offering both a printable page and an online entry link. We encourage everyone to take advantage of the online entry system at http://bedfordcountyfairpa.fairentry.com/.
Understanding the Premium GuideIf you want to be an exhibitor at our Fair, check out the Exhibitor’s Premium Guide. It’s your go-to resource for all the rules, guidelines, categories, deadlines, and prize details for your entries. The guide is organized into Departments, Sections, and Classes. Departments are broad categories like “Dairy” or “Photography.” Sections are subcategories that narrow it down, such as “Holstein” or “Canned Products.” Classes get specific, describing your entry, like “3 years old” or “Red Beets.” When entering a show or competition, you’ll need to choose the Department - Section - Class number for your entry. These numbers are used by Fair officials and other exhibitors, and entries in the same class are judged against each other.
