Each year we have people show up at
the window after 11:30a and they are
disappointed when we tell them entries
are closed if they don’t already have
their barcodes. Please don’t let that
happen to you – plan and come early
on Saturday to bring your entries. We
must close the buildings at 12:00 noon
to prepare for judging and to give our
volunteers time to have lunch before
the judging starts.
You can also send an entry form in
advance to Putnam County Fair, Attn:
Patti Clark, P.O. Box 1001, Cookeville,
TN 38503 and barcodes will be waiting
for you at the fair on Saturday morning,
