The Fair Day Schedule is Here!

The schedule for the day of the fair has been posted on our website. You can find it under "News" on the homepage or by clicking here. Please note that there will be a 5k race on the same day, so student drop-off will be at 8th and Main. There will be a tent and cones.

100 Judges Still Needed!

We still need almost 100 judges for the fair! We have 156 judges, and we need 250! Judges are needed in ALL 22 categories. Sign up today and invite your colleagues! Work with a team of 2-5 judges to determine winning projects and award awesome prizes for Junior and Senior students from 52 Kentucky counties!

The fair is on March 4, 2017, at the Kentucky Science Center (weather date is March 5). Judging is held in two sessions: 9:00 – 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 – 3:00 p.m. Judges can choose to work one or both sessions. Visit http://lrsef.org/for-judges/ for more information about the event and judging categories.

Please register at lrsef.stemwizard.com by February 22. (Registration is in the top right corner.) All judges must register every year, so if you have served in the past, please register again.
