Project Completion Guidelines

In order to have completed a project, everyone must:
  1. Have completed all local club guidelines.
  2. Followed the club constitution.
  3. Have attended an interview judging process.
Please check with your advisor to be sure of your status. If you have an incomplete project, you are not eligible to exhibit at the county fair.


Member Enrollment Form

The ivory colored member enrollment forms may be picked up by an advisor at the Extension office at any time. These forms will have project grades on them for each member. Please check premium amounts and indicate if the member has completed all guidelines and will be exhibiting at the fair. This sheet will determine wristband distribution.

These must be returned by an advisor to the Junior Fair Office by September 15 before any member can receive a wristband.

 

Wristband Distributions

Wristbands will be attached only at the times listed. No one can pick up a wristband for someone else. These will be the only times that members and advisors will be given wristbands. Please remember that in order to receive a wristband, a member must have met completion requirements and will be exhibiting at the 2006 Tuscarawas County Fair.
 
Exhibiting at the fair means that members must either have a livestock project on display or have an educational display in a booth. Livestock posters in the barn do not constitute a display, nor does a project book.
 
Special arrangements must be made with the Extension office prior to September 14 if an animal is unable to be displayed and a member needs booth space to set up a display.
 
All advisors and committee members must be actively participating in the program in order to receive a wristband.
 
Wristbands will be distributed on the following dates in the Clover Cafe.
 
Friday, September 15, 2006
3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
 
Saturday, September 16, 2006

Cloverbud Passes

All 4-H Cloverbud members are eligible to receive a one day pass for admission to the fair. These passes may be picked up at the same time and place as wristbands.
