State Fair Entries:

     A county may submit a total of three state fair entries, one entry per division.

** Fair Entry – You MUST register your 4-H project in Fair Entry if you plan to exhibit at the 4-H Fair. See page 21! **

A 3-ring notebook including items listed in the project manual is required for all divisions. **For personal safety concerns, notebooks exhibited should only contain name, county, grade, level and club, and no personally identifiable information such as mailing address or phone number.

Beginner (Grades 3, 4, 5)

    • Complete 1 activity from each group in the manual. Write your results or answers in a notebook. Label each activity. This will help you talk to the judge easily.
    • Help purchase an item of clothing that you'll wear with other clothes in your wardrobe. Examples might be slacks, blouse, jeans, shirt, sweater, or sweatshirt. Choose an accessory to go with your purchase. You might buy shoes, sweatband, belt, jewelry, or socks.
    • Model your purchases. Tell the judge about them, what you learned, and about the activities you completed. Take your manual and notebook with you because they will help you talk with the judge.

Intermediate (Grades 6, 7, 8)

    • Complete 1 activity from each group in the manual. Write your results or answers in a notebook. Label each activity. This will help you talk to the judge easily.
    • Purchase and accessorize a casual or school outfit. You may purchase accessories or select from items you already own.
    • Model your outfit. Tell the judge about your purchases, what you learned, and about the activities you completed. Take your manual and notebook with you because they will help you talk with the judge.

Advanced (Grades 9 & above)

      • Complete 1 activity from each group in the manual. Write your results or answers in a notebook. Label each activity. This will help you talk to the judge easily.
      • If a member has completed all activities in the manual in prior years, the member is to consult with their extension educator, leader, or mentor to create an activity. When assembling the exhibit notebook be sure to include a note to the judge explaining how the activity was determined and the intended objectives. Bring manual and notebook to judging.
