As a reminder, exhibitors can choose from their nominated animals the ones they intend to show at the Mississippi State Fair. There is a New Entry button that exhibitors will use for entering showmanship. The entry window for the youth livestock shows at the Mississippi State Fair is open until September 18.

When entering your livestock for the State Fair, you will see on the Questions tab a way to upload your animal health record form. This form should be uploaded at the State Fair when you check-in your livestock.

Today we mourn the loss of an American icon, a beloved philanthropist and a proud 4-H alumna, Dolly Parton. Her extraordinary life was defined not only by her incredible talent, but by her unwavering generosity, compassion and commitment to helping others.

For generations of young people, Dolly embodied what it means to use your gifts in service of others. From her roots in 4-H to her lifelong investment in literacy, education and community, she showed us that true leadership is grounded in humility, kindness, and purpose. As Dolly once said, "storms make trees take deeper roots." 💚

A proud 4-H alumna, she reminded us that challenges can strengthen us and help us grow. That wisdom will continue to inspire young people and communities for generations to come. We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and the millions whose lives she touched. Her legacy of hope, generosity, and service will live on. 🍀
