Livestock entries close July 1.

About this Online System

• This is a new online system for us. We are confident this system will be better for everyone in the long run, but it might be a bumpy start. Please reach out to Trudi (419-564-6386) or Darla (419-564-8814) with questions.
• Watch this help video for guidance during the online registration process. Video is quick. Be prepared to pause it as needed.
• Because Bellville Fair is not affiliated with 4-H, ignore any prompts within this online system that mention 4HOnline. You will need to enter information for each exhibitor and each animal that will be exhibited. Nothing from 4HOnline is carried over into Bellville's system.
• Within this registration process, you will see buttons referring to payment. Rest assured, there are NO ENTRY FEES for any Jr. exhibitors. You will not be prompted to enter payment information.

Showmanship - You can also enter Showmanship classes during this online entry process; however, this is NOT the only opportunity you will have to sign-up for showmanship.

Scrapie Tags - Click here for information about scrapie tags, i.e. flock ID vs. animal ID.

Proof of Possession - In addition to the entries made online, print, complete, & submit this form as proof of your possession for market lambs, goats, hogs, & feeder calves. Form & pictures are due July 13. If you need EID tags, contact a Livestock Director. In-person tagging is Sunday, July 13 from 5:00-7:00 PM at the pavilion behind the Jefferson Twp. Fire Dept.

New for 2025 - Market Rabbits are required to be tattooed by August 17. If you have a rabbit from an adjacent county fair, you'll need to submit a completed proof of possession form and pictures by August 17. If your rabbit is not tattooed, there will be Rabbit Tattooing on Sunday, August 17 from 5:00-7:00 PM in the Old Fire Station.
