Claiborne Parish 4-H is inviting residents of all ages to begin preparing for the 2026 Claiborne Parish Fair by exploring opportunities to enter exhibits and competitions that celebrate the creativity, skills, and talents of the local community.

The organization recently announced that the 2026 Claiborne Parish Fair Catalog is now available, giving participants an early look at the many categories and events planned for next year’s fair.

According to 4-H officials, the fair offers opportunities for individuals to showcase a wide variety of talents and hobbies, including baking, arts and crafts, photography, gardening, sewing, livestock exhibitions, woodworking, homemade creations, and other agricultural and creative pursuits.

Organizers are encouraging both first-time participants and longtime fair exhibitors to review the catalog and consider entering one or more categories.

“Every entry helps continue and grow this long-standing Claiborne Parish tradition for future generations,” 4-H officials noted in their announcement.

The Claiborne Parish Fair has long served as a showcase for local talent, agriculture, and community pride, bringing together residents from across the parish to celebrate achievements and friendly competition. Fair leaders say increased participation helps preserve the event’s rich history while ensuring its continued success for years to come.

Officials emphasize that entries of all sizes and skill levels are welcome.

“No entry is too small,” organizers said. “We want to see the talents of our community on display.”

The fair catalog provides detailed information about entry categories, rules, deadlines, judging criteria, and exhibit requirements, allowing participants ample time to prepare projects before the fair season begins.

Claiborne Parish 4-H hopes the release of the catalog will encourage greater community involvement and help make the 2026 Claiborne Parish Fair one of the most successful in recent years.

Residents interested in participating are encouraged to access the fair catalog through the QR code provided by Claiborne Parish 4-H and begin planning their entries now.

Organizers say the goal is simple: celebrate local talent, strengthen community involvement, and continue building a fair tradition that can be enjoyed by future generations throughout Claiborne Parish.
