Photography at the Sedgwick County Fair

This is the correct way to mount your photography exhibits for the Sedgwick County Fair and Kansas State Fair as of 2024. You may use any full coverage permanent adhesive. (Such as spray adhesive or heat mounts) If you are unsure if your photo is mounted correctly, bring it to the Sedgwick County Extension Office before the fair and a 4-H staff member can help you.

State Fair

4-H members nine to eighteen years of age that meet eligibility requirements are able to exhibit at the Kansas State Fair. For more information visit the Kansas State Fair 4-H Exhibitor Handbook.
