Competitive Entries - What and Why?
Competitive entries are a vital part of the New York State Fair. In 2007 over 40,000 individual entries were made in various categories, such as culinary, arts and crafts, cattle, dairy goats, rabbits and many more.
People from all over New York State compete with their animals and projects at the New York State Fair. Here they compete against each other - some winning prize money to help with the cost of raising their animals or to help fund their college education. Some compete just for the honor of winning the coveted "Blue Ribbon" or "Grand Champion Rosette". Young and old alike join in the fun of entering. Join others ... enter your best cake, prettiest flower, largest pumpkin or favorite pie!
