Fair Information

 

STUDENTS AND TEACHERS:

The Harold W. and Helen M. Ritchey State Science and Engineering Fair of Utah is a regional fair and those participating should be the "best of the best" from your fair.   There will be only two fairs this year,  the Junior Fair which includes grades 6th-8th and the Senior Fair will include grades 9th-12th.  The Dee Events Center accommodates 400 student projects nicely and because of the large number of students wishing to participate in the Junior Fair (6th-8th), the number of students participating from each school in each grade will be limited to a maximum of SIX and should be your best projects. If you have more than one 6th grade class in your school, you may not send six from each class only six from the school in that grade.   Again, you are encouraged to send your best projects to the Senior Fair.
