Butler Amusements offers a reward to young readers – Earn two Free Carnival Rides for extra books read between April 1 and July 8! Students in Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades can read picture books. 3rd-6th must read chapter books. These should be extra books, not books assigned in class. To enter, read your books and fill out the entry form. Ask your guardian or teacher to sign the form. Return it to the fairgrounds by July 10.

Only one entry per student. Tickets will be mailed after school is out, so enter your home address. If you have read enough books, a ribbon, and two free carnival ride passes will be sent to your home the week before the Fair starts. Must use the official entry form!

Download the entry form here or get a special PDF you can fill out online.

No feathers, stickers, sequins, etc. Use an official entry form or a copy of the form on white paper. Winners in all age categories will receive 2-4 tickets for Fair admission. All coloring contestants will receive a Fair discount ticket, good for $10 off adult admission or $5 off kids admission. Please be sure to fill out all contact information on the entry form.

What kind of circus would you have if you were in charge? Let your imagination go wild! There are all kinds of circuses all over the world; circuses with performing animals, and circuses with performing humans. Some circuses perform in the largest arenas in the world, and others travel around and set up tents for their performances. And every circus has different types of performers, from sword swallowers to dancing dogs. This is your chance to imagine your idea of the perfect circus. You can get ideas online, at the library, or just from your imagination.

To enter, tell (write) or show (draw) what your circus would look like. Your entry can be a picture, a story, or a little of both. You can use markers, crayons, pencils, or paint. Everything on your entry should be your work, so NO stickers, NO clipart, and NO glitter (it makes a mess in the office!). And the most important rule – everything on your entry should be your work. So if you can’t write, draw a picture! Entries will not be judged on spelling, but make sure we can read your writing and understand what you mean to say. All entries must be on ONE side of your 8 ½ by 11” or 11” by 17” paper. One entry per person.
