4-H GENERAL AND HOME EC DEPARTMENT
PROJECT EXHIBIT RULES
1. This division is open to exhibitors who are regularly enrolled members in 4-H Clothing, Decorate Your Duds, Foods and Nutrition, Child Care, Home Environment, Knitting, Crocheting, Veterinary Science, Gardening, Electricity, Model Rocketry, Small Engines, Woodworking, Forestry, Wildlife, Fish, Shooting Sports, Archery, Leather craft, Macramé, Ceramics, Cake Decorating, International Intrigue, Photography, and Junior Leadership.
2. Only one exhibit in each class will be accepted.
3. If a member is enrolled in more than one unit of a project, he or she may exhibit in the each unit completed.
4. All exhibits must be labeled with name and address (city and county) of exhibitor according to project guidelines.
5. All 4-Hers in home economics and general divisions are encouraged to participate in interview judging. While there is no penalty for missing the interview, the fact that a 4-Her isn't there to speak to the judge may affect his or her placing.
6. The 2008 Colorado State Fair 4-H Syllabus will be the final guideline in the preparation of all general and home economics exhibits. A copy of the syllabus is available from 4-H leaders or the Extension Office. Project books and record books usually have exhibit standards, these must be followed.
7. The Danish Ribbon System, which is based on quality and standards, will be used for home economics and general 4-H projects. We encourage all exhibits to be in on time. No exhibits will be judged before or after the class has been judged. Late entries will not be placed for state fair.
Blue - exhibit meets exhibit requirements and is of high quality (well done).
Red - exhibit meets exhibit requirements but is of average quality.
White - exhibit does not meet all exhibit requirements and/or is below average quality; (needs improvement).
8. Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion will be declared in each project from unit champions and reserve champions and reserve champions designated. Champions and reserve champions will be designated on blue ribbon placing only.
9. Exhibits eligible for State Fair will be designated by stickers. In most situations if there is a reserve champion in a class or unit, it will be the alternate State Fair exhibit if for some reason the designated exhibit cannot be sent. Refer to the 2008 State Fair Syllabus for project eligibility information.
10. Exhibits will be judged in the unit in which the 4-Her is enrolled. If an exhibit does not meet the unit guidelines in the State Fair Syllabus, it may be entered in open judging at the discretion of the judges.
4-H COUNTY PROJECTS
Park County offers several educational projects that are not eligible for State Fair. County projects will be judged on the Danish System, and an overall champion will be selected by the judges. In addition to county projects, clubs may enter:
