Exhibitor Information
Whether it’s the thrill of competition, the prize money, winning that coveted blue ribbon, or perhaps a Best in Show rosette, every exhibitor has their own reason for entering. We thank all of our exhibitors, past and present, for sharing the results of their efforts and talents. We encourage everyone, especially those who have never exhibited, to give it a try this year!
With 26 different Durham Fair Exhibit Departments to choose from, check out the listing below to see where your knowledge, skills or pleasure lies. In 2023, the Association paid premiums (prize money) of $98,957. We are happy to award our exhibitors for the hard work they put into their exhibits.
