PLEASE READ: Open Class will be taking ONLINE* Entries beginning May 1, 2025. Walk-in entries are also welcome. Online entries can be found here: https://lincolnor.fairwire.com.

*To save time, online entry is strongly encouraged. By using online entry, exhibit tags will be printed and waiting for entrants at intake. Entrants are also encouraged to use online entry for any items they are even considering entering, as it takes only seconds to remove an entry made online, if desired, while the walk-in manual entry process can take several minutes per item. 

2025 Exhibit Intake: 2 locations this year - both non-perishable and perishable items will be entered on these dates:

Saturday, June 28 and Sunday June, 29: Newport, OSU Extension Office, 9:00 am-4:00 pm

Sunday, June 29: Chinook Winds Casino Convention Center,  9:00 am-4:00 pm

Notes regarding online entry:

  • Online entry opens May 1st

  • Online entry closes June 15th

2025 Exhibit Release: Exhibits will be released at the location they were entered.
Sunday, July 6: Chinook Winds Casino, 8:00 am-10:00 am - any remaining items will be moved to the Newport location.  

Sunday, July 6: Newport, OSU Extension Office, 10:00 am-2:00 pm

If you are unable to pick up your items on July 6, please contact Heather Tower, heather.tower@oregonstate.edu, 541-648-6818 to make other arrangements. 

We are excited to announce that there is still no entry fee for static exhibits. We hope to continue to encourage broad participation by keeping it free to enter as many exhibits as you like for judging. This does mean that we have eliminated premiums for top placements, however special prizes and ribbons will still be awarded.

 

Due to low participation, we are not offering animal judging this year. Please let us know if you want us to bring it back and who might be able to help make it happen, as we always want to include as wide a representation possible of our county's riches!
