Note – All livestock exhibitors and in-person event exhibitors (contests, fashion show, presentations, and robotics showcase) will still be able to order discounted tickets when they enter in ShoWorks for State Fair. This process has not changed for those exhibitors coming to the fair.

"When will I receive my livestock sale check?"

Schow Auction Service and Ogallala Livestock Market are working to have all buyers pay in a timely manner. Now we wait until the majority of checks come in and are deposited before the sale barn is able to write the sale checks. Please allow time for this process. Do not call either Schow Auction Service or Ogallala Livestock Market to ask when the checks will be ready.

"When will I receive my fair premium money?"

The Keith and Arthur County Ag. Society will provide the fair premiums. Tessa has to get the list of premiums to the Ag Societies first. The money will be available later in the fall.

"When will my awards I won at the fair get here?"

Awards will be available later in the fall. Most of the plaques, trophies, etc will be available closer to the achievement banquet.
