Consumer Clothing
(State Fair Exhibit)
State Fair Entries: 3 notebooks per county, no clothing; one per level.
This project is designed to teach clothing selection, wardrobe planning, care of clothing and personal grooming. Consumer Clothing will NOT be community judged. Members are to provide front and back view pictures of themselves wearing the purchased item(s) in the notebook.
- Outside front cover – 4-H member name, county, club, and level.
- Photo of 4-H member wearing their purchased outfit.
- Narrative describing decision making process when purchasing this outfit and
- accessories, and how they complement your existing wardrobe.
- One page or section outlining each of the five manual activities completed. Information is
- to include a description of the activity, skills learned, challenges completing the activity
- and how you worked to overcome each challenge, problems that occurred and how that
- problem was solved, how this activity will help you later in life and any other information.
- Any additional information or documentation such as place of purchase, other vendors
- explored, how an adult mentor assisted and any other information. Receipts are not
- required, but if included be sure personally identifiable information such as mailing
- address, phone number, etc. are altered and not visible.
- The notebook exhibit does not include prior year(s) information.
Youth may choose to model their purchased outfit and accessories at the county level. Modeling at state fairs is limited to only the advanced level and will be judged separately from the notebook.
Judges evaluating exhibits should recognize individual differences and creativity, therefore using information in this document as a guide rather than a requirement.

Project Guidelines by Division
References: Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be used, with parent permission, when creating this exhibit and is to be documented as a reference. Most of the work to create this exhibit is to be the 4-H member’s original work. All posters, notebooks, and display boards must include a reference list indicating where information was obtained, giving credit to the original author, to complete the 4-H member’s exhibit. This reference list should/might include web site links, people and professionals interviewed, books, magazines, etc. It is recommended this reference list be attached to the back of a poster or display board, be the last page of a notebook, or included as part of the display visible to the public. A judge is not to discredit an exhibit for the way references are listed.
