drug use notification forms (dunf's)

Every year, our exhibitors with market animals or animals in lactation (during exhibition) are required by the Ohio Department of Agriculture to fill out a Drug Use Notification Form (DUNF). DUNF’s will be online only. Due to stricter regulations now in place regarding completion of the DUNF, we are no longer able to correct/update forms once they have been submitted. We STRONGLY encourage you to wait until the morning of check-in or until you have reached the fairgrounds to complete the form. We will have iPads available at the fair for you to use to complete the DUNF. If may also be completed on your cell phone. This year's DUNF link is http://go.osu.edu/2024TuscDUNF.

Clover CafÉ

The Clover Café (open during the Tuscarawas County Fair) is our county 4-H program's ONLY countywide fundraiser, and we need the support of our entire 4-H community to make it a success. The funds raised allows the Tuscarawas County 4-H Committee to help fund enrollment materials, Interview Judging, 4-H Fun Day, camps, and other activities.

Volunteers are always needed at the café during the Tuscarawas County Fair! Sign up to work a shift either as an individual, a family, or a club activity! All ages (Cloverbud age and older) can help! We still need a few more volunteers for Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday evening. Sign up at http://go.osu.edu/2024clovercafesignup. Shift supervisors for Thursday (4-9 p.m.), Saturday (11 AM - 3 PM), and Sunday (11 AM - 3 PM) are needed. Contact Diane Glazer at 330-260-0760 if you are able to serve as a shift supervisor.

Clubs wishing to purchase prepaid Clover Café vouchers ($5 per voucher) can do so during wristband pick up. Vouchers are a great way to support the Café while feeding your hungry club members!

2024 Menu

2024 Beverage Schedule - Our beverage costs are reduced by asking each club to bring the assigned number of 12-packs. The amount assigned per club is based on the total number of members in your club. Clubs can decide how to fulfill the request. Remember, the café is counting on your donation! Beverages will be collected at the Clover Café during wristband distribution.

Parking Passes

TMK has generously sponsored one fair parking pass per family again this year (only families with horses or livestock at the fair). These passes can be picked up during wristband distribution. Individuals wishing to purchase an additional parking pass (one additional pass per family) may do so at the Senior Fair Board office for $20. For additional information, please refer to the August 26 4-H Newsletter.
