Welcome to the Manatee County Youth Exhibitor Online Entry System 2024!!!
Please take a few minutes to review the Online Entry System instructions, posted on the Manatee County Fair website. These instructions have been revised for 2024. The answers to your questions should be in the instructions but if at any time during the online registration process you have an issue, please contact the ShoWorks Administrator at vquattlebaum@manateecountyfair.com She will be more than happy to assist you, to complete your online entry process.
To be eligible to exhibit at the Manatee County Fair, you must COMPLETE the online entry process. A completed entry results in a paid receipt with your information and your entry information included. Print a copy of your receipt for your personal records. ATTEMPTS or SAVED CARTS are not completed entries and as a result, will not be accepted to participate in the Manatee County Fair.
When you are ready, begin in the upper right corner by either signing in or creating your account. Each year is a new year, so none of your information from previous years is stored in the system. If you want to set up your account in the ShoWorks Passport System, please see the Online Entry System instructions for more information or visit the Passport website: https://passport.fairwire.com/passportdefault.aspx
You will need your Ethics certification number to register. If you have any questions regarding the ethics certification, see the “Ethics Certification Information” sheet on the Manatee County Fair website.
Exhibitors who are exhibiting only plants are exempt from the ethics requirements. Please enter “EXEMPT” in the ethics field.
*****Please note, if you do not enter your Ethics certification number when you set up your ShoWorks account, the number must be submitted to vquattlebaum@manateecountyfair.com by December 1, 2023 to be eligible to exhibit at the Manatee County Fair 2024. *********
