Department listings can be found in the State Fair Exhibit Requirements/ Fairbook. Interview slots begin at 9 AM, judging break for lunch is scheduled at 11:30.
If members would like to have their projects evaluated but are unable to attend, they are invited to use the Absentee Interview Form and include it with their project and record book for evaluation during the
Interview Judging Day.  Please make sure all items are labeled with name. 

All interviews will take place at the Boulder County Fairgrounds Exhibit Building, which is located on the West side of the fairgrounds.  Please use the West or South parking lots and enter through the corresponding doors.  Find your check-in table and wait or continue to your interview. Open Class judging will also be taking place so please make sure you are in the right place.
