Important rules of the Larimer County Fair:
(These rules are subject to change or event cancellation per health orders at the time of fair.)
We are working to provide a safe event and to comply with the public health orders in place. Precautions like face masks are what allow us to hold these events with larger groups of people involved. If you or members of your family cannot abide by these public health rules for any reason, you should not attend the county fair this year. It is imperative for the safety of all that we follow the rules or people will be sent home, or the event could be canceled. Our success depends on you!
If you are feeling sick, ill, have a temperature, or are experiencing any of the signs of COVID-19, do not come to the fairgrounds. Additionally, if you have been around someone in the last 14 days who has or is suspected of having COVID-19, do not come to the fairgrounds.
Face Masks: ALL participants, members, volunteers, and their families MUST wear face masks at all times unless directed by a show official while showing.
6' social distancing between family groups must be followed. Only 1 guardian and/or adult will be permitted per contestant.
Lastly, we realize the fair experience will be different this year. A large number of people, including staff and volunteers at both Larimer County and CSU, have worked very hard to be able to bring you this fair under the current health orders. We listened to your feedback that as many live competitions as possible were preferred and we are proud of what we are able to offer given the circumstances. We hope you are, too! Please bring your positive attitude and patience to fair this year! We are all trying something new and different. And always remember the 4-H Code of Conduct that guides us.
