Purpose of 4-H Shows @ Fair
• Members have selected projects.• Work done in project helps prepare
youth for the fair exhibit, not always the actual exhibit.
• Fair is an opportunity for 4-H’ers to showcase the skills and knowledge they have gained.
• 4-H’ers are not required to exhibit at the fair.
![Page 5: New Family Fair Orientation Presented by: Deanna Roby & Doris Braddock University of Illinois Extension, Kane Co. 4-H Youth Development Staff](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc85503460f94abd911/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What can be exhibited at the fair?
• At your May 4-H club meeting, you should be receiving a Fair Registration Form. 4-H’ers will register for what they are exhibiting at the fair on this form.
• It is linked to project enrollments. Youth must be enrolled in a project area to register for an exhibit in that same area.
• Fair Registration Forms for the Dog & Small Pet Shows are due June 5; all others are due June 12.

there are exhibit opportunities for youth and adults. Info is available at http://web.extension.illinois.edu/dkk/kane4hfair/

Where do the exhibit requirements come from?
• Most of the 4-H exhibit requirements are determined by the exhibit requirements for the 4-H portion of the Illinois State Fair.
• 4-H fair superintendents and the 4-H Fair Committee review exhibit requirements each year and make suggestions for changes.

Project Check-in
• All general and home economic projects are checked in on Monday, July 13, in the 4-H/Industrial Building between 1:30 and 5:30 p.m. (If you have numerous exhibits, try to check in early in the day!)
• All live animals (except dogs, cats & small pets) are brought to the fairgrounds on July 14. Times vary – refer to fairbook.
![Page 12: New Family Fair Orientation Presented by: Deanna Roby & Doris Braddock University of Illinois Extension, Kane Co. 4-H Youth Development Staff](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc85503460f94abd911/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What happens during project check-in?
• For general & home economics projects, the main check-in tables are in the NE corner of the building. Pick up exhibit tags here – proceed to the south end of building, the parent’s gallery.
• In the parent’s gallery, youth can attach exhibit tags to their projects. Bring supplies needed.
• Parent’s may not go beyond this area.
![Page 13: New Family Fair Orientation Presented by: Deanna Roby & Doris Braddock University of Illinois Extension, Kane Co. 4-H Youth Development Staff](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc85503460f94abd911/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How does the project get judged?
• The building is divided into categories. Refer to map on the website.
• With exhibit tags attached, youth proceed to the appropriate area(s) to check in project(s) with a superintendent. We will have helpers for this process if needed.
• They might immediately see a judge for a conference or they may have to wait.
![Page 14: New Family Fair Orientation Presented by: Deanna Roby & Doris Braddock University of Illinois Extension, Kane Co. 4-H Youth Development Staff](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc85503460f94abd911/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What is conference judging?
• This type of judging brings 4-H members and judges together to evaluate project exhibits.
• It allows 4-H’ers to learn how to improve knowledge and skills.
• 4-H’ers can share their project experiences.
• It is great preparation for the future!
![Page 15: New Family Fair Orientation Presented by: Deanna Roby & Doris Braddock University of Illinois Extension, Kane Co. 4-H Youth Development Staff](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc85503460f94abd911/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How long does judging take?
• Judges are encouraged to spend 5-7 minutes with each child. Some take longer and others don’t.
• Judging is scheduled to run from 2-6 p.m.
• Timing for judging really depends on the number of exhibits. Allow extra time for busy judges and areas.
• Please be patient and plan to spend the afternoon at the fairgrounds.
![Page 16: New Family Fair Orientation Presented by: Deanna Roby & Doris Braddock University of Illinois Extension, Kane Co. 4-H Youth Development Staff](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649dc85503460f94abd911/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What do all the ribbons mean?
• The judging process has two phases.• The first phase is non-competitive.
Everyone is given a blue, red or white ribbon based on their own merit.
• The second phase is competitive. Projects are judged against each other.
• Refer to ribbon posters which are hung in the building.

How does the IL State Fair (ISF) figure into this?
• At the ISF, the State 4-H office organizes a junior show for 4-H members from across the state.
• 4-H’ers must be age 10 as of 9/1/14 to be eligible.
• In general & home economics projects, county fair exhibits are selected to represent county at the ISF.
• In livestock, any member can participate.

How will you know if a project is selected for the ISF?
• Projects from our fair selected for the ISF, will have a state fair delegate or alternate ribbon on them.

• State Fair Delegates & Alternates are asked to mark choices on the state fair board in the 4-H/Industrial Building.
