Carroll Area FFA - Fair Exhibits

Fair Exhibits

Exhibiting projects at fairs is a great opportunity for FFA members during and after high school. Carroll Area FFA members may exhibit at county fairs, the Iowa State Fair, and other local or national shows. Students may show in FFA and/or 4-H until the summer after graduation; after that, 4-H eligibility ends, but FFA members may continue showing at select fairs until their FFA eligibility expires. Projects are typically classified as livestock or non-livestock. Students interested in exhibiting should review fairbooks through the appropriate extension websites and consult their chapter advisor for guidance.
