Acton Fair 4-H Exhibit Hall

Important information and deadlines

Acton Fair Exhibit Hall Guidelines 2026: The guidelines have been updated for 2025 and contain some changes regarding number of entries per class. Please review the guidelines before deciding on a project to submit to the Exhibit Hall. The judges will use the guideline criteria when evaluating entries.

Exhibit Hall Setup: All exhibits can be setup in the Acton Fair 4-H Exhibit Hall on Tuesday August 25th from 1pm to 7pm. Exhibits will be organized according to club membership. All entries must be listed on the Exhibit Sheet provided to your club leader. Independent members will have their own sheet.

No premiums will be paid for exhibits removed from the hall before 6pm on Sunday. Premium checks will be mailed to 4-H leaders for distribution. 

Exhibit Cards: Every entry to the 4-H Exhibit Hall must be accompanied by an Exhibit Card, which is used by the judges when they are viewing the entries. Entries from youth aged 5-8 should have a Cloverbud Exhibit Card (printed on blue paper). Entries from youth ages 9 and up should have an Exhibit & Judging Card (printed on white paper). Exhibit Cards will be distributed to club leaders, but will also be available when entries are dropped off at the Hall. If you would like to print Exhibit Cards on your own, please contact Erin for the file.
