Three Ways to Register

1. Online

(Recommended)

  • This method of registration is considered a way to 'pre-register.' 

  • Exhibitors can register their entries online using the link below.

  • Deadline for Online Entries: 

    • ALL Animal Entries (Livestock, Poultry, & Rabbits): August 12.

    • Other Entries: No later than Noon the Saturday before Farm Show week begins. August 19, 2023

      PARENTS: be sure to use Department 11 - YOUTH when registering your child(ren)'s entries!

  • This method of registration is also considered a way to 'pre-register.'

  • Exhibitors can mail their completed entry Form(s) found in the back of the booklet or linked below to

    • Williamsburg Farm Show
      P.O. Box 117
      Williamsburg, PA 16693

  • Please refer to what Departments you are entering under may say about required documents for registration (i.e. animals require CVIs, etc.) ​​

  • Deadline for ALL mail-in entries:

    • Postmarked by August 12, late registrations will not be accepted.

  • This is NOT the time to register entries that were denoted as must be PRE-REGISTERED, they will not be accepted.

  • We allow Exhibitors to enter under certain Departments in person on the Saturday before the Farm Show opens. Please refer to the Event Schedule for these times, or whether your entries need to be preregistered by looking at their Department listings in this book.

  • Exhibitors with 15 or more entries must Pre-Register by using option 1 or 2.

When Do I Register? 

Pre-Registration:

  • Pre-Registration is MANDATORY for ALL Animal Entries; with all required forms completed.

    • All Livestock and Rabbit entries must be pre-registered Online or using Animal Registration Form B (found in the back of this booklet). In addition, exhibitors of all animals must have a “Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI),” along with the Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship Form C found in the back of this booklet. The respective department chairperson will collect the CVI & Form C prior to the animal being housed. For further health requirement specifications refer to the specific department of your animal listed at the beginning of the book.

    • When filling out your entry forms for the animal registration, please put all computer ID’s for one particular animal that you are entering on one sheet. This will allow us to better count the number of animals entered.

  • Exhibitors with 15 (or more) entries MUST PRE-REGISTER.

  • As space can be an issue, Small Antiques, Antique Tractors and Machinery entries should be pre-registered by August 12.​

​

Day of Fair:

  • For entries that we do not require to be pre-registered, exhibitors may register the Saturday before the Farm Show opens.

  • We do ask that exhibitors voluntarily pre-register all exhibits, as it can help expedite procedures as a computer program is used to register exhibits, print entry tags, tally the winners, and appropriate premium money.

​

​

What do I do when I arrive?

  • The registration table is located in the Williamsburg Community Farm Show Building Office (1019 Recreation Drive)

    • Pre-Registered Entries: This is where you will receive your packet of pre-registered entries tags. Please skip down to #3 to know what to do next.

    • Walk-ins: If you did not pre-register via mail/online, then you must register at this time.

      1. After registering, completely fill-out the entry form for your entries; You will need to know/find their Department #, Division #, and Class ID # & description. You may ask for guidence from the registration staff, or be directed to visit the Department Chairperson for the entry(s) in question.

      2. Return the entry form to the registration table and wait while we process your form and print your entry tags. (Another reason why pre-registering, or registering online can save you time!)

      3. Your entries with their tags attached may be taken to the area/building where they will be displayed.

 

What do I do with my entry tags?

  • Entry tags are used to register, organize, identify, and judge exhibits. Unused tags are to be returned to the office.

  • All exhibits must have an entry tag attached (some exceptions apply such as livestock) and remain attached throughout the Farm Show.

    • Attaching tags can entail tying, taping, stapling, etc. to the exhibit; whatever method is best that does not damage the exhibit.
