All exhibitors planning on entering the Ohio State Fair will need to have a DNA hair sample turned into the Ohio State Fair office by January 15, 2026. NO requests will be taken after Jan. 2 and all requests must be in writing via email to Andrea Hershey. THIS IS NOT A POST MARK DATE! Youth interested must contact Andrea Hershey, The Ohio State Fair, 717 East 17th Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43211 to receive information on how to take this DNA sample. Her email is a.hershey@expo.ohio.gov to request information. This must be signed by our office if a 4-H project or your FFA instructor if this is a FFA project prior to this date. We will not have the materials needed here at the County Extension Office. For state fair eligibility, the project must be carried in the county by being registered in the project by enrollment deadline (April 1).  We will have a limited number of kits available at weigh-in.
