​
​
Frequent Issues/Questions--Please, Please, PLEASE READ!
This would not be here if it wasn't an issue every year!
​
  1. EVERYONE must sign up as a new exhibitor every year.  Showorks will not save your information from previous years.  Once a child is registered, you may return with the same name and password. You can use the same password for all children. Please DO NOT register the same child again with a different name (middle, etc).
  2. Please pay close attention when entering exhibitor's date of birth. This seems to be an issue every year.
  3. Checks will be mailed to the address you register with.
  4. W9 information:
    • Use the exhibitor's name with the exhibitor's social security number.
    • Checks will not be mailed if we do not have correct W9 information.
    • Showorks will not allow you to return to correct or add W9 information.
  5. Jr. exhibitors must be in Kindergarten, 1st grade, or 2nd grade as of September 1, 2024.  Sr. division is 3rd grade to 12th grade.
  6. Exhibitors must be at least 5 years old by September 1, 2024.
  7. Steers and Replacement Heifers- If you want to validate more than 1, purchase an additional animal tag. We will record DOB and weight for extra at validation. 
  8. Family Tags are intended to be used for the same species. We will allow exhibitors to family tag to a species that is registered to another family member; however, we must be informed at validation time. In other words, at check-in time if child is requesting to show a species they are not registered for, they may NOT show that species (regardless if family tagged). 
  9. Additional Animal Tags- This allows you to tag additional animals (of the same species) for $10 each and then choose which ones to bring and show at fair time.
  10. Chickens- Because every exhibitor showing chickens MUST purchase a minimum of 1 box of 25 chicks, we INCLUDE 1 box of chicks to the initial registration fee. Each exhibitor registering to show poultry will be charged $64 ($20 reg. fee plus $44 for one box of chicks).   ADDITIONAL BOXES of chicks may be purchased on step 3 "items".
​

*** Questions about rules, validation, etc., please contact the appropriate director. Questions about online registration (Showorks), text 281-593-9092 or email info@sjcfairandrodeo.com. Please be patient for replies as we all have full-time jobs. ****

​
It is important that you use the correct social security number when filling out the W9.  It is kept in a secure vault within Showorks and we are unable to change it. We are unable to mail checks to exhibitors with incorrect W9s.
