Welcome to Marshall-Putnam 4-H Show Registration!

We are counting on our 4-H members, families, staff, and volunteers to help make this fair season safe and successful.

Earlier this year, you enrolled in our 4-H system, ZSuite. The projects you selected there will be the same ones you choose in FairEntry. FairEntry lets us know at the county level what your child plans to exhibit at the 4-H shows.

FairEntry also connects with the Illinois State Fair in Springfield. If your child is selected to advance to the State Fair, we can promote their project through FairEntry. Please note that animal projects are not automatically promoted—families must complete those entries separately at the state level.

Before starting your registration, please review the helpful hints below. If you have questions, contact the Extension Office at (309) 364-2356.
